thermophile s in the family theThermococcaceae . [See the NCBI [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=2263 webpage on Thermococcus] . 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]They consist of
gram-negative spheres that move withflagella . They are organothrophicanaerobe s, growing in temperatures above 70°C. They require elementalsulphur aselectron acceptor in these growth reactions, producinghydrogen sulphide (H2S) andcarbon dioxide (CO2)References
