The Alicyclobacillaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria. All members of this family are aerobic and form endospores.
The family contains four genera: Alicyclobacillus, Effusibacillus, Kyrpidia, and Tumebacillus. When originally created in 2009, Alicyclobacillaceae was a monophyletic family, only including genus Alicyclobacillus. In 2011, the novel genus Kyrpidia was proposed and placed in family Alicyclobacillaceae, and Tumebacillus was placed into the family as well. In 2014, the novel genus Effusibacillus was proposed and added as the fourth member of Alicyclobacillaceae.
