Thermoanaerobacter mathranii is a thermophilic anaerobic sporeforming bacteria. The bacteria was first isolated from an Icelandic hot spring. The growth range for the organism is 50 to 75°C and pH 4.7-8.8 with optimal growth conditions at 70-75°C and pH 7.0. T. mathranii stains Gram-variable but is structurally Gram-positive. The species was named by the researchers in honor of the late Indra M.
