Thermochromatium is a Gram-negative and thermophilic genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species ( Thermochromatium tepidum ). ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} The habitats of Thermochromatium tepidum are hot springs which contain sulfide. ^{[4] [3]} Thermochromatium tepidum was first isolated from the Mammoth Hot Springs from the Yellowstone National Park in the United States. ^[5]
