Taxonomy

Description
The type material is the metagenome assembled genome BH-11_VER1 recovered from soil from Bunger Hills, East Antarctica. The MAG consists of 5.0 Mbp in 86 contigs with an estimated completeness of 99.66% and 0.58% contamination, 16S (1537 bp), 23S (2844 bp), and 5S (116 bp) genes, and 45 tRNAs (21 unique: 20 standard plus tRNA-fMet). The GC content of this MAG is 55%. Predicted to degrade phthalate (phthalate 4,5-dioxygenase [EC:1.14.12.7]).
