Fig. 5: Metabolic potential of Hebobacteria and Zipacnadia.

Features of the core metabolism are shown within the central representation of a cell. Pathways or reactions by class are labeled through text and colored dots. Presence in Hebobacteria is noted by a green dot and Zipacnadia by a purple dot. Components of energy generation are shown in the Respiratory Mechanisms box. These collected genomes are unique within Armatimonadota for their likely capability to act on nitrogen and sulfur species. The autotrophic growth allowed by the Rnf Complex in Hebobacteria and Zipacnadia is a key capability of those recovered genomes. Created using BioRender.com.
