GCF_000632495.1 (Q42933)

Description of Acidianus copahuensis sp. nov.; Description based on the representative genome (GCF_000632495.1) from GTDB r214 for 'Acidianus copahuensis'. Assignment to Acidianus is based on POCPu of 61.6% to the type species of the genus, Acidianus infernus. ANI values were unable to be calculated to all existing Acidianus species, and 16S rRNA gene sequence identity values were below 50%, defining GCF_000632495.1 as representing a novel species. Genome analysis predicted the presence of the metabolic module (M00986) for sulfur reduction. The type material of this species is isolate RZ1 (=DSM 29099, =JCM 30227).
