SAMN18043586 Candidatus Thermoflexus sinensis GXS_4 Candidatus Thermoflexus sinensis Ca. Thermoflexus sinensis Latin neut. adj. Sinae, Chinese; the Chinese Thermoflexus. The nomenclatural type is the metagenomic bin QQ_bins28 (GenBank ID JAEVEY000000000). Currently known only from metagenomic sequence data. Habitat and genomic features suggest a phenotype conforming to the description of the genus Thermoflexus. Predicted to be proteolytic, based an abundance of proteases, and facultatively anaerobic, based on cytochrome c oxidase, nitrous oxide reductase, and a dissimilatory nitrite reduction to ammonium system. Possibly carboxydotrophic, based on a type I carbon monoxide dehydrogenase system. In addition to the nomenclatural type, also includes T. sinensis GXS_4 and T. sinensis GZ2_71 (GenBank ID JAEVEZ000000000).
