In addition to traits reported for the genus, genomes of this species encode most genes for a denitrification pathway and can likely convert nitrate to dinitrogen. Genomes of this species also encode an arsenite transporter, arsenite oxidase, and arsenate reductase. The G+C content of the genomes range between 43.26% and 45.56%. Genealogical concordance and ANI support the novelty of this species, and phylogenomics and AAI places this species in the genus Pampinifervens gen. nov. The type for this species is the genome GXS_2011_Aq_binTs, recovered from Gongxiaoshe hot spring in Tengchong, China, and is available under the GenBank assembly accession number GCA_037722225.1. (BioProject: PRJNA1048437, BioSample: SAMN38639757).
