Taq DNA Polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has been used:
in the quantification of fungal growth by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and photometric assay
in conventional reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR
in simple sequence repeats (SSR) genotyping
as a component of PCR mix for amplification of genomic and mitochondrial DNA
in direct tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (T-ARMS) PCR to amplify dried whole blood samples
