Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is a thermoacidophilic archaeon that belongs to the phylum Thermoproteota. S. acidocaldarius was the first Sulfolobus species to be described, in 1972 by Thomas D. Brock and collaborators.[1] This species was found to grow optimally between 75 and 80 °C, with pH optimum in the range of 2-3.
