Definitons
Acidophiles
This group includes both “true” acidophiles or acidophiles proper, as well as hyperacidotolerant, near-acidophilic neutriphiles.
- “True” Acidophiles: This group includes organisms capable of thriving in hyperacidic conditions, most of which have an optimal growth pH of 5 or lower (OGpH<5)
- Hyperacidotolerant, near-acidophilic neutriphiles: This group includes organisms that have an OGpH slightly above this (e.g., Nanoarchaeum equitans, OGpH=6) but can nonetheless be found flourishing in hyperacidic environments (pH=0.5-1.5).
Extremophilic Species
Overview
This group contains 1* extremophile: Ca. N. oleophilus. It is an acidophile.
