Alicyclobacillus fodiniaquatilis is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic, bacterium. The bacteria are acidophilic and produced endospores. It was first isolated from acid mine water from a copper mine in Fujian Province, Republic of China. The species was first described in 2015, and the name is derived from Latin fodina (mine) and aqua water, referring to the original isolation location.[1]
