Family

It contains only one family, Methanopyraceae, one genus, Methanopyrus, and one species, Methanopyrus kandleri.[2] This species is chemolithoautotrophic and its cells are bacillus in form. It grows comfortably at temperatures of 98 °C and can survive at temperatures as high as 110 °C, making it the most thermophilic known methanogen. Strain 116 can survive at up to 122 °C.[3] They live in hydrothermal vents and were first discovered on the walls of a black smoker in the Gulf of California, at the depth of 2000 metres.[4] They are similar to Methanobacteriales, but unlike other methanogenic archaea, their cell walls contain pseudomurein.[5]
