Overview

  • Thermomonospora curvata is a Gram-positive, exosporous, strictly aerobic, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Thermomonospora curvata is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Trujillo2012aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from overheated substrates such as composts, manures. 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
  • Strictly aerobic and preferred higher growth temperatures suggests this is unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
