Abstract
The "Aigarchaeota" are a proposed archaeal phylum of which the main representative is Caldiarchaeum subterraneum.. It is not yet clear if this represents a new phylum or a and order of the Nitrososphaerota, since the genome of Caldiarchaeum subterraneum encodes several Nitrososphaerota-like features.. The name "Aigarchaeota" comes from the Greek , avgí, meaning "dawn" or "aurora", for the intermediate features of hyperthermophilic and mesophilic life during the evolution of its lineage.
