Overview

  • Tepiditoga spiralis is a Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 25.8%. Tepiditoga spiralis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Mori2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from a hydrothermal vent chimney, western Pacific Ocean. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • High optimum growth temperature so unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
