Ferroplasma is a genus of Archaea that belong to the family Ferroplasmaceae. Members of the Ferroplasma are typically acidophillic, pleomorphic, irregularly shaped cocci.
The archaean family Ferroplasmaceae was first described in the early 2000s. To date very few species of Ferroplasma have been isolated and characterized. Isolated species include Ferroplasma acidiphilum, Ferroplasma acidarmanus, and Ferroplasma thermophilum. A fourth isolate Ferroplasma cupricumulans was later determined to belong to a separate genus. All known Ferroplasma sp. are iron-oxidizers.
