Summary
The slightly thermophilic bacterium Tepidimonas taiwanensis strain VT154-175 has been isolated from a hot spring in the area of Viterbo, Italy. The microbial characterization of hot springs can be important for understanding the first steps of life on primordial Earth, as well as for the discovery of novel taxa useful for advances in many biotechnological fields [1, 2]. Bacteria belonging to the genus Tepidimonas are slightly thermophilic bacteria found in hot springs [3,4,5,6]. In particular the species Tepidimonas taiwanensis has been isolated in hot springs in southern Taiwan [7], Romania, and Central India [8, 9].
