Abstract
Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria can use methane as their sole energy source. Most known species belong to the phylum Proteobacteria. One exception is a group of thermoacidophilic methanotrophic bacteria belonging to the phylum Verrucomicrobia. Although not yet taxonomically validated, these bacteria have been described physiologically and genomically and given the tentative genus name “Methylacidiphilum.” They are found in geothermal environments with moderate to high temperatures (up to 65 °C) and high acidities (down to pH 1). The genetic pathways conferring a methanotrophic lifestyle in verrucomicrobial methanotrophs are similar to their proteobacterial counterparts, although rather than fixing carbon derived from methane, they are autotrophs obtaining carbon via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. Lateral gene transfer appears to have played a major role in shaping the genomes of “Methylacidiphilum” spp. The following chapter summarizes what we presently know about them.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
