Aquificales and Thermotogales
Along with Thermotogae, members of Aquificae are thermophilic eubacteria.
Deinococcus and Thermus
The Deinococcus-Thermus are a small group of bacteria composed of cocci highly resistant to environmental hazards.
Chloroflexus and Relatives
Chloroflexus are Gram-negative filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic organisms that utilize type II photosynthetic reaction centers.
Nitrospirae and Deferribacter
Nitrospirae is a phylum of bacteria; some nitrospirae species perform important functions in the nitrogen cycle.
Aquifex, Thermocrinis, and Related Bacteria
The Aquificae phylum is a diverse collection of bacteria found in harsh environments: hot springs, sulfur pools, and thermal ocean vents.
