Taxonomy

Description
Based on protein content and compositional features, we infer that Asgardarchaeia is an acetogenic chemoheterotroph, possibly a facultative lithoautotroph, and is adapted to a thermophilic lifestyle. Utilizing genomes from Asgard archaea, TACK, and Euryarchaea, we perform phylogenomic reconstructions using the GTDB archaeal marker genes, the current reference set for taxonomic classification. Calibrating relative evolutionary divergence (RED) values for Asgardarchaeota using established Thermoproteota lineages in the GTDB r207 reference tree, we establish a robust classification and propose Asgardarchaeum as the type genus for the family Asgardarchaeaceae, the order Asgardarchaeales, the class Asgardarchaeia and the phylum Asgardarchaeota.
