The Pyrodictiaceae are a family of disc-shaped anaerobic microorganisms belonging to the order Desulfurococcales, in the domain Archaea.Members of this family are distinguished from the other family (Desulfurococcaceae) in the order Desulfurococcales by having an optimal growth temperature above 100 °C, rather than below 100 °C.[1] The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[3] Pyrolobus fumarii Pyrodictium brockii Stetter et al. 1984 Hyperthermus butylicus P. occultum P. abyssi Pley and Stetter 1991 P. delaneyi Pyrolobus fumarii Blöchl et al. 1999 Hyperthermus butylicus Zillig et al. 1991 P. delaneyi Lin et al. 2016 P. occultum Stetter et al. 1984This Thermoproteota-related article is a stub.
