Overview

  • Thermobispora bispora, (aka Microbispora bispora), is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 70%. Thermobispora bispora is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Wang1996a)



  • This organism has been recovered from decaying manure. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Aerobic and high growth temperature optima of 50-65C suggests this is an unlikely gut coloniser.
