A plethora of hot springs are found at the Los Azufres volcanic complex in Mexico, and studies are needed to determine their microbial genomic diversity. Here, we report a metagenome of hot spring sediments and a metagenome-assembled genome of “ Candidatus Aramenus sulfurataquae.” This study reveals novel genomic sequences of Sulfolobales archaea.

The Los Azufres geothermal field contains diverse microbial communities inhabiting thermal springs whose bacterial genomic diversity is being analyzed. Here, we describe a metagenome-assembled genome of Acidibrevibacterium fodinaquatile FLA01 obtained from fumarole sediment sequencing data. The genome contained genes for carbon fixation, osmotic shock, and heavy metal resistance.
