While all genera within the Archaeoglobaceae are related to each other phylogenetically, the mode of metabolism used by each of these organisms is unique. ''[[Archaeoglobus]]'' are [[chemoorganotroph]]ic sulfate-reducing archaea, the only known member of the [[Archaea]] that possesses this type of metabolism. ''[[Ferroglobus]]'', in contrast, are [[chemolithotroph]]ic organisms that couple the oxidation of [[iron|ferrous iron]] to the reduction of [[nitrate]]. ''[[Geoglobus]]'' are iron reducing-archaea that use [[hydrogen]] gas or [[organic compound]]s as energy sources.<ref>* {{ cite book | author=Madigan, M.T. and Martinko, J.M. | title=Brock Biology of Microorganisms, 11th Ed. | publisher=Pearson Prentice Hall | year=2005 }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist|1}} ==Further reading== ===Scientific journals=== ===Scientific books=== * {{ cite book | author = Huber H, Stetter KO | date = 2001 | chapter = Family I.
