Acidophiles

Acidophiles or acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions (usually at pH 5.0 or below). These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Ferroplasma is a genus of Archaea that belong to the family Ferroplasmaceae. Members of the Ferroplasma are typically acidophilic, pleomorphic, irregularly shaped cocci.

Acidobacteriota is a phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.

Edaphobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, rod shaped bacteria. It contains seven species:

Acidithiobacillia is a class of the phylum Pseudomonadota ("Proteobacteria"). Its type order, the Acidithiobacillales, was formerly classified within the Gammaproteobacteria, and comprises two families of sulfur-oxidising autotrophs, the Acidithiobacillaceae and the Thermithiobacillaceae, which in turn include the genera Acidithiobacillus and Thermithiobacillus. The Acidithiobacillales are an order of bacteria within the class Acidithiobacillia and comprises the genera Acidithiobacillus and Thermithiobacillus. Originally, both were included in the genus Thiobacillus, but they are not related t

Bryocella (Bry.o.cell’a. Gr. neut. n.; "bryon" - peat L. fem. n.; "cella" - cell N.L. fem. n.; "Bryocella" - peat-associated cell) is a genus of Gram-negative, non-spore forming, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria from the family Acidobacteriaceae within subdivision 1 of the phylum Acidobacteriota. The type species of the genus is Bryocella elongata.
