Terrabacter carboxydivorans is a species of Gram-positive, nonmotile, non-endosporeforming bacteria. Cells are rod-shaped. It was initially isolated from roadside soil near Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea during a survey for bacteria with the ability to digest carbon monoxide. The species was first described in 2011, and its name is derived from Latin carboxydum (air) and vorans (devouring, digesting).[1]
The optimum growth temperature for T. carboxydivorans is 30 °C and can grow in the 15-40 °C range. It can grow in pH 4.0-12.0, and can also grow in the presence of 400 ppm carbon monoxide.[1]
