Abstract

A phylogenetic analysis of all validly published members of the including several new isolates from our laboratory, suggests three orders within this archaeal kingdom. The consist of both the rod-shaped, hyperthermophilic, neutrophilic representatives of the and the members of the new family The harbor all thermoacidophilic, coccoid organisms. The neutrophilic, hyperthermophilic cocci are members of a new order tentatively named This order comprises two families, the characterized by maximal growth temperatures of up to 100°C, and the new family for which optimal growth occurs at temperatures above 100°C.
