We report the draft metagenome-assembled genome of a member of the Chloroflexi family Herpetosiphonaceae from microbial biofilms developed in a circumneutral, iron-rich hot spring in Japan. This taxon represents a novel genus and species—here proposed as Candidatus Anthektikosiphon siderophilum—that expands the known taxonomic and genetic diversity of the Herpetosiphonaceae and helps orient the evolutionary history of key traits like photosynthesis and aerobic respiration in the Chloroflexi.

Candidatus Anthektikosiphon siderophilum OHK22，来自 Oku-okuhachikurou Onsen 的 Chloroflexi 家族 Herpetosiphonaceae 的新成员

我们报告了 Chloroflexi 家族 Herpetosiphonaceae 成员的宏基因组组装基因组草图，该基因组来自日本一个环中性、富含铁的温泉中开发的微生物生物膜。该分类群代表了一个新的属和种——这里提议为 Candidatus Anthektikosiphon siderophilum——它扩展了 Herpetosiphonaceae 的已知分类学和遗传多样性，并有助于确定 Chloroflexi 中光合作用和有氧呼吸等关键特征的进化历史。
