This species is the nomenclatural type for the genus Aquivivens. Genomes belonging to this species are predicted to range between 1.7 Mb and 2 Mb. %GC content for the species range between 62.83-63.50 %. Genomes of this species encode respiratory complexes I through V, with aerobic respiration being likely due to the presence of cytochrome c oxidase in the genomes. Nitrite is predicted as alternative terminal electron acceptor, while a metal-reducing cytochrome is also encoded by genomes belonging to this species. ADP/ATP translocase, components of the tight-adherence complex, genes for the production of a Type-4a pilus, and at least two very large ORFs are encoded by genomes of this species. Assemblies for this species originated from soil and groundwater samples from Rifle, Colorado, USA, with a pH of 7.28 and oxygen concentrations of 0.29 mM. The nomenclatural type for the species is the genome GCA_001804415.1.
