Desulfurococcaceae
In taxonomy, the Desulfurococcaceae are a family of the disc-shaped anaerobic microorganisms belonging to the order Desulfurococcales, in the domain Archaea.[1] Members of this family are distinguished from the other family (Pyrodictiaceae) in the order Desulfurococcales by having an optimal growth temperature below 100°C, rather than above 100 degrees°C, and by being more diverse.[2] Several genera of the family have been identified (see taxobox).
