Taxonomy

Description
The MAG representing this species was obtained from the Northwest Caldera Wall at the deep-sea Brothers volcano along the Kermadec arc. The MAG is composed of 10 contigs, totaling 1,522,352 bp in length, with a GC content of 54.2%. Based on CheckM2 analysis, the genome is about 95.13% complete and 0.11% contaminated, and it includes a complete 16S rRNA gene, a partial 23S rRNA gene and tRNA genes for all 20 standard amino acids. Inclusion of this MAG in Thermodiscus is supported by 16S rRNA gene sequence identity, and its distinction as a unique species is based on geographical location at a deep-sea volcano, and ANI-based divergence between Thermodiscus MAGs. Based on functional genomic analysis, this species is likely a non-motile, piliated anaerobic heterotroph that degrades protein-rich carbon sources and may reduce sulfur, thiosulfate, polysulfides or selenite. It is predicted to grow best at approximately 90°C. The name proposed for this species refers to an ocean-associated Nereid spirit who is the sister of Calypso, referencing the phylogenetic relationship between the Calypsonella and Thermodiscus.

Submitter comments
Completion and contamination were estimated using CheckM2. RNAs were detected with the Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP). The 16S rRNA gene includes a large (586 bp) intervening sequence (shown in Genbank accession PP060619.1). Completion of the 23S rRNA gene was estimated using the Aeropyrum pernix 23S rRNA gene (NR_103216.2).
