Tumebacillus avium is a species of Gram positive, facultatively aerobic, bacterium. The cells are rod-shaped, motile, and form spores. It was first isolated from faecal sample of a cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus) from the Seoul Grand Park Zoo, Seoul, South Korea . The species was first described in 2018, and the name is derived from Latin avium (of the birds).[1]
The optimum growth temperature for T. avium is 25-30 °C, and can grow in the 4-37 °C range. Its optimum pH is 7.0, and grows in pH range 6.0-9.0. The bacterium forms white colonies on R2A agar.[1]
