Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense is a slightly acidophilic, anaerobic, thermophile first isolated from hot springs in New Zealand, hence its name. It is Gram-negative, peritrichously flagellated, rod-shaped forming oval terminal endospores. Strain JW/SL-NZ613^T (= DSM 10170) is its type strain.{{cite journal|last1=Liu|first1=S.-Y.|last2=Rainey|first2=F. A.|last3=Morgan|first3=H.
