In taxonomy, the Thermoplasmata are a class of the Euryarchaeota.[1]

All are acidophiles, growing optimally at pH below 2. Picrophilus is currently the most acidophilic of all known organisms growing at a minimum pH of 0.06. Many of these organisms do not contain a cell wall, although this is not true in the case of Picrophilus. Most members of Thermoplasmata are thermophilic.

Phylogeny[edit]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]

16S rRNA based LTP_06_2022[3][4][5] 53 marker proteins based GTDB 08-RS214[6][7][8]
"Natronoplasmatales"

"Natronoplasmataceae" (PWKY01)

"Proteinoplasmatales" (SG8-5)

"Gimiplasmatales"

"Gimiplasmataceae" (UA10834)
