Phylogenomic Analysis of Metagenome-Assembled Genomes Deciphered Novel Acetogenic Nitrogen-Fixing <i>Bathyarchaeota</i> from Hot Spring Sediments
Sushanta Deb, Subrata K. Das
Abstract
We describe the Bathyarchaeota bins that are likely to be acetogens with a wide range of metabolic potential. These bins did not exhibit methanogenic machinery, suggesting methane production may not occur by all subgroup lineages of Bathyarchaeota . Phylogenetic analysis support that both ILS200 and ILS300 belonged to the Bathyarchaeota . The discovery of new bathyarchaeotal MAGs provides additional knowledge for understanding global carbon and nitrogen metabolism under extreme conditions.
