Metagenome-Assembled Genome of a Putative Chemoheterotroph from Volcanic Terrain in Hawaii

Here, we present the draft genome for a new putative species, Gaiellasilicea maunaloa, most closely related to Gaiella occulta, within the phylum Actinobacteria. This group contains Gram-negative, aerobic mesophilic species. This metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) contributes to knowledge of life in volcanic environments and may inform investigations of life beyond Earth.
