The Archaeoglobi are a family of Archaea, with two genera. Both are hyperthermophiles, found in undersea hydrothermal vents. Archaea - Wikipedia /**/ @import /skins/monobook/IE50Fixes. ... Hyperthermophiles produce some of the bright colors of Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments - that is, hotter than around 60°C; in fact, the recently-discovered Strain 121 [1] has been able to double its population during 24 hours... Hydrothermal vents are fissures in a planets surface from which geothermally heated water issues. ...
Ferroglobus is chemoautotrophic, oxidizing iron salts from Fe2+ to Fe3+, and at the same time reducing nitrate to nitrite. Nitrates are the salts of nitric acid. ... In inorganic chemistry nitrites are salts of nitrous acid HNO2. ...
Archaeoglobus is unique among the Archaea in using sulfate as its oxidizing agent, although there are various sulfate-reducing bacteria that do the same. Sulfate is the IUPAC name for the SO42- ion, consisting of a central sulfur atom single bonded to four tetrahedrally oriented oxygen atoms. ...
