Abstract

We describe two species of hyperacidophilic, thermophilic, heterotrophic, aerobic archaea that were isolated from solfataric hydrothermal areas in Hokkaido, Japan. These organisms, and , represent a novel genus and a novel family, the , in the kingdom and the order . Both of these bacteria are more acidophilic than the genus since they are able to grow at about pH 0.
