Overview

  • Thiomonas islandica is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 65.2%. Thiomonas islandica is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Vesteinsdottir2011)



  • This organism has been recovered from a hot spring, Iceland. 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 optimum (45C) suggests this is an unlikely gut coloniser.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Vesteinsdottir2011);
    Character Response
  • pH
  • Acidity tolerance:
  • Grows optimally at pH 4.
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • doesn't grow at 30℃; grows at 54℃; Grows optimally at 45℃.
  • ⥅
  • Substrates assimilated or utilised:
  • glutamate; acetate; oxalate; pyruvate; glutamine;
