---> ¤ Acidianus Segerer et al. 1986.

Note: Fuchs et al. 1996 propose to transfer ¤ Desulfurolobus ambivalens Zillig et al. 1987 (the type species of the genus Desulfurolobus) to the genus ¤ Acidianus as ¤ Acidianus ambivalens (Zillig and Böck 1987) Fuchs et al. 1996, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Desulfurolobus to ¤ Acidianus.
