In [[alpha taxonomy|taxonomy]], the '''Archaeoglobaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of the [[Archaeoglobales]].<ref>See the [[National Center for Biotechnology Information|NCBI]] [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=2232 webpage on Archaeoglobaceae]. Data extracted from the {{cite web | url=ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ | title=NCBI taxonomy resources | publisher=[[National Center for Biotechnology Information]] | accessdate=2007-03-19}}</ref> All known genera within the Archaeoglobaceae are [[hyperthermophile|hyperthermophilic]] and can be found near undersea [[hydrothermal vent]]s.
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>
