Taxonomy

Description
An actinobacterial bacterium represented a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG), recovered from desert soils from the Mackay Glacier region, Antarctica. The bacterium is predicted to be capable of aerotrophic growth (growth of on atmospheric substrates), using H2 (via a high-affinity group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase) and CO (via a Form I carbon monoxide dehydrogenase) as energy and electron sources to fix CO2 (via CBB cycle mediated by a Type IE RuBisCO). The species is proposed to serve as the nomenclatural type for the Aridivita genus, named after Anne Willems, for her contributions to Antarctic microbiology using isolation-based approaches.
