|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genus Australarchaeum | [Aus.tral.ar.chae'um] L. masc. adj. australis, Southern; N.L. neut. n. archaeum, archaeum, ancient one, archaeon; N.L. neut. n. Australarchaeum, an archaeon from the south | The type of the genus is an Archaeon found only in soils heated by volcanic activity (65 degree C) on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica. Analysis of metabolic pathways indicates the presence of fatty acid oxidation, amino acid degradation and an aerobic lifestyle. There are indications that either the same species or another species of the same genus can be found on Mt. Melbourne and Mt. Rittmann, both also in Antarctica. GTDB-Tk indicates that this genome represented a novel Order of Nitrososphaeria.

Incertae sedis (Archaea):
This lineage appears to represent a novel order of Nitrososphaeria, according to GTDB-Tk.

Australarchaeum erebusenseTs | seqco.de/i:49006 |
| Species Australarchaeum erebusenseTs | [e.re.bu.sen'se] N.L. neut. adj. erebusense, of Erebus, referring to Mt. Erebus, Antarctica | Archaeon found only in soils heated by volcanic activity (65 degree C) on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica. Very deep branching and novel lineage of Nitrososphaeria. Encodes aa3-type (low-affinity) cytochrome C-oxidases.
