Etymology
Gr. adj. <i>thermos</i>, hot; Gr. adv. <i>autos</i>, self; Gr. adj. <i>trophikos</i>, nursing, tending; N.L. fem. adj. <i>thermautotrophica</i>, indicating that the organism grows at elevated temperatures and uses carbon monoxide as sole source for carbon and energy.
Ecology

isolated from a terrestrial hot vent of the Geyzer Valley, Kamchatka Peninsula.
Morphology
Cells are short, straight rods (0.4-0.5 × 1-3 µm) occurring singly or in short chains of three to five cells, and motile by lateral flagella. On solid medium, produces round, white, translucent colonies.
