Genus

In taxonomy, the Picrophilaceae are a family of microbes within Thermoplasmatales.[1]

Morphology and ecology

[edit]

The cells are round in shape, thermophilic, heterotrophic, and obligately aerobic. This species is hyperacidophilic, with an optimal pH of 0.7. Its optimal temperature is 60 °C. It has been isolated from fumaroles, acidic sediments, dry solfataric fields, and hot springs in Hokkaidō, Japan.[2]

Phylogeny

[edit]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]

16S rRNA based LTP_06_2022[4][5][6] 53 marker proteins based GTDB 08-RS214[7][8][9]
