| sulfolobaceae | A family of sulfolobales consisting of aerobic or facultatively anaerobic chemolithotrophic cocci, usually occurring singly. They grow best at a pH of about 2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfolobales | An order of crenarchaeota consisting of aerobic or facultatively aerobic, chemolithotrophic cocci which are extreme thermoacidophiles. They lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfolobus | A genus of aerobic, chemolithotrophic, coccoid archaea whose organisms are thermoacidophilic. Its cells are highly irregular in shape, often lobed, but occasionally spherical. It has worldwide distribution with organisms isolated from hot acidic soils and water. Sulfur is used as an energy source. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfolobus acidocaldarius | A species of aerobic, chemolithotrophic archaea consisting of coccoid cells that utilise sulfur as an energy source. The optimum temperature for growth is 70-75 degrees c. They are isolated from acidic fields. (12 Dec 1998) |
