Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense is a slightly acidophilic, anaerobic thermophile first isolated from hot springs in New Zealand, hence its name. It is Gram-negative, peritrichously flagellated, rod-shaped forming oval terminal endospores. Strain JW/SL-NZ613T (= DSM 10170) is its type strain.[1] Its genome has been sequenced.[2]
