Aeropyrum is a genus of archaea in the family Desulfurococcaceae.[1]
Etymology
[edit]The name Aeropyrum derives from:
Greek noun aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; Greek neuter gender noun pur, fire; Neo-Latin neuter gender noun Aeropyrum, air fire, referring to the hyperthermophilic respirative character of the organism.[2]
Species
[edit]The genus contains 2 species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[2]
- A. camini Nakagawa et al. 2004 (Latin genitive case noun camini, of a chimney, relating to its isolation from a hydrothermal vent chimney.)[3]
- A. pernix Sako et al. 1996 (Latin neuter gender adjective pernix, nimble, active, agile, indicating high motility in microscopic inspection.) [4]
Taxonomy
[edit]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).[1]
