This species is the nomenclatural type for the genus Abzuiibacterium. Two unique assemblies are available for the species and range in estimated genome size between 2.4 and 2.6 Mb, with a %GC content of 45.25-45.27 %. Respiratory pathways, including genes associated with respiratory complexes I through V, are present in this species. This species is likely able to respire aerobically, as a cytochrome bd ubiquinol oxidase is encoded by genomes of this species. Predicted alternative electron acceptors include nitrite, and nitric oxide, while metal-reducing cytochromes and a conductive pilin are also encoded by genomes of this species. Additionally, a reversible acetyl-CoA synthetase is also encoded by the genomes, and may be indicative of acetate utilization by this species. A complete set of the genes for the production of a Type 4a-pilus is encoded by genomes of this species. Genomes of this species also encode the "symbiotic" F-type ATPase, an ADP/ATP translocase, and a very large ORF. The genomes originated from metagenomic samples from Crystal Geyser, Utah, USA, with samples taken at a reported temperature of 17.4 °C. The nomenclatural type of the species is the genome GCA_002787155.1.
