Scientific classification
Domain:	Archaea
Kingdom:	Methanobacteriati

Thermococcaceae is a family of archaeans in the order Thermococcales. ^[2] Almost all species within the three genera of Thermococcaceae were isolated from hydrothermal vents in the ocean. All are strictly anaerobes. ^[3]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[1] and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[2]
