# Metagenome-Assembled Genome of “Candidatus Aramenus sp. CH1” from the Chichon volcano, Mexico

## TL;DR

This paper presents a new archaeon genome from a thermal lake in the Chichon volcano in Mexico.

## Contribution

The study provides a novel metagenome-assembled genome of a Sulfolobales archaeon from a Mexican thermal site.

## Key findings

- A metagenome-assembled genome of 'Candidatus Aramenus sp. CH1' was generated.
- The archaeon inhabits the acidic crater lake of the Chichon volcano.
- This is the first report of an Aramenus genome from Southern Mexico.

## Abstract

The Chichon volcano contains several thermal manifestations including an acidic crater lake. Here we report a metagenome-assembled genome of “Candidatus Aramenus sp. CH1,” a Sulfolobales archaeon inhabiting the crater lake from the Chichon volcano. In this study, we generated a novel Aramenus genome sequence from a thermal area in Southern Mexico.
