Etymology

The name Aeropyrum derives from:
Greek noun aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; Greek neuter gender noun pur, fire; New Latin neuter gender noun Aeropyrum, air fire, referring to the hyperthermophilic respirative character of the organism.[2]

Species

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, (Type species of the genus).; Latin neuter gender adjective pernix, nimble, active, agile, indicating high motility in microscopic inspection.) [4]
