In taxonomy, the Thermoplasmatales are an order of the Thermoplasmata. [See the NCBI [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=2301 webpage on Thermoplasmatales] . Data extracted from the cite web | url=ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ | title=NCBI taxonomy resources | publisher=National Center for Biotechnology Information | accessdate=2007-03-19] 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 of members of the Thermotoplasmata are thermophilic.
