Genomic inference of the metabolism and evolution of the archaeal phylum Aigarchaeota

The phylum of archaea Aigarchaeota is poorly characterized due to limited genomic sampling. Here, Hua and colleagues use genome-resolved metagenome sequencing to reconstruct six hot spring strains of Aigarchaeota and then infer their metabolism and evolutionary history.
