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

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)
