Species Aridivita willemsiaeTs [wi.llem'si.ae] N.L. gen. n. willemsiae, of Willems, named after Anne Willems, for her contributions to Antarctic microbiology using isolation-based approaches
An actinobacterial bacterium represented a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG), recovered from desert soils from the Mackay Glacier region, Antarctica. The bacterium is predicted to be capable of aerotrophic growth (growth of on atmospheric substrates), using H2 (via a high-affinity group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase) and CO (via a Form I carbon monoxide dehydrogenase) as energy and electron sources to fix CO2 (via CBB cycle mediated by a Type IE RuBisCO). The species is proposed to serve as the nomenclatural type for the Aridivita genus, named after Anne Willems, for her contributions to Antarctic microbiology using isolation-based approaches.

Species Edaphomicrobium jansseniiTs [jans.sen'i.i.] N.L. gen. n. janssenii, of Janssen, named after Peter H. Janssen, for his pioneering isolation-based studies that first described this lineage (Ellin6529)
A Chloroflexota bacterium represented a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG), recovered from desert soils from the Mackay Glacier region, Antarctica. The bacterium is predicted to be an atmospheric hydrogen oxidizer using H2 (via a high-affinity group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase) from air as a key energy source for survival in oligotrophic desert soils. The species is proposed to serve as the nomenclatural type for the Edaphomicrobium genus, and honors Peter H. Janssen, for his pioneering isolation-based studies that first described the class lineage of this bacterium (Ellin6529, later named as Limnocylindria).
