Rubrobacter xylanophilus is a thermophilic species of bacteria. It is slightly halotolerant, short rod- and coccus-shaped and gram-positive, with type strain PRD-1T. It is the only known true radiation resistant thermophile. It can degrade xylan and hemicellulose.{{cite journal|last1=Carreto|first1=L.|last2=Moore|first2=E.|last3=Nobre|first3=M.

This organism was found to be extremely gamma-radiation resistant, with a higher shoulder dose than the canonical radiation resistant species of the genus Deinococcus. The organism stained Gram-positive and was slightly thermophilic with an optimum growth temperature of about 60 °C.Home - Rubrobacter xylanophilus DSM 9941. (n.d.).
