Taq polymerase is an enzyme used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to replicate
fragments of DNA, A study published in 1976 examined the properties of Taq polymerase
after the enzyme was isolated from Thermus aquaticus, a thermophilic bacterium that lives in
the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. The graph shows one of the results of the study
