We report the draft metagenome-assembled genome of a member of the Chloroflexi family Herpetosiphonaceae from microbial biofilms developed in a circumneutral, iron-rich hot spring in Japan. This taxon represents a novel genus and species—here proposed as Candidatus Anthektikosiphon siderophilum—that expands the known taxonomic and genetic diversity of the Herpetosiphonaceae and helps orient the evolutionary history of key traits like photosynthesis and aerobic respiration in the Chloroflexi.
