Resumo

Various extremely thermophilic coccoid, rod- or plate-shaped S0-metabolizing archaebacteria exhibit optimum growth at above 80°C. Pyrodictium is the most thermophilic of these organisms, growing at temperatures of up to 110°C and exhibiting optimum growth at about 105°C. All of these organisms proliferate on the basis of diverse types of anaerobic and aerobic lithoautotrophy and heterotrophy.
