Sporomusa termitida
Sporomusa termitida is a species of bacteria. It is an acetogen first isolated from termites (Nasutitermes nigriceps).[1] Its cells are strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, endospore-forming, straight to slightly curved rods (0.5–0.8×2–8 μm) that are motile by means of lateral flagella.
