Ignisphaera Explained

Ignisphaera is a genus of the Desulfurococcales.^[1] Ignisphaera aggregans is a coccoid- shaped, fourth type strain that is strictly anaerobes with anaerobic respiration. This archaea species are hyperthermophiles that were found in New Zealand's hot springs in Kuirau Park, Rotorua.^[2]
