In addition, and in contrast, to the characteristics described for the genus, no hydrogenases are annotated in the genomes of this species. This would suggest that the oxidation of sulfide and thiosulfate may serve as electron donors in this species. The genomes of this species range in G+C content between 45.99% and 46.82%. Genealogical concordance and ANI support the novelty of this species, and phylogenomics and AAI places this species in the genus Pampinifervens gen. nov. The nomenclatural type for the species is the genome DRTY-6_201601_bin_61Ts, recovered from the hot spring Diretiyanqu-6, in Tengchong, China. The genome is available under the GenBank assembly accession GCA_037926845.1. (BioProject: PRJNA1041563, BioSample: SAMN38287353).
