Thermoproteales Zillig & Stetter 1982 emend. Burggraf et al. 1997
As Thermoproteales son unha orde de arqueas da claseThermoprotei.[1] Son os únicos organismos que carecen da proteína SSB, e no seu lugar teñen a proteína ThermoDBP.
Os xenes de ARNr destes organismos conteñen múltiples intróns, os cales poden ser xenes codificantes de endonucleases homing, e a súa presenza pode afectar a unión dos cebadores do ARNr 16S "universal" usados a miúdo en estudos de secuenciación.[2]
