The species was first described in 2009, and its name is derived from Latin "terrigena" (child of the earth, earth-born) referring to the isolation of the type strain from soil. The optimum growth temperature for "T. terrigena" is 30 °C and can grow in the 10-37 °C range. The optimum pH is 6.5-7.0 and can grow in pH 5.0-8.5. Terrabacter terrigena
