Thermoplasma volcanium is a moderate thermoacidophilic archaea isolated from acidic hydrothermal vents and solfatara fields.[1][2] It contains no cell wall and is motile.[1] It is a facultative anaerobic chemoorganoheterotroph.[1][2] No previous phylogenetic classifications have been made for this organism.[1] Thermoplasma volcanium reproduces asexually via binary fission and is nonpathogenic.[1]
