Taxonomy

Description

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.  

Parent

Incertae sedis (Archaea):

This lineage appears to represent a novel order of Nitrososphaeria, according to GTDB-Tk.
