Niallia tiangongensis is a Gram-positive, aerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the genus Niallia within the family Bacillaceae. It was first isolated from surface samples collected aboard the Tiangong space station during China's Shenzhou 15 mission in May 2023. The species was formally described in 2025 following genomic and phenotypic analyses.[1][2][3]
