Abstract
Here, we present four archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)
(three Thaumarchaeota MAGs and one Thermoplasmatota MAG) from a polar upwelling
zone in the Southern Ocean. These archaea harbor putative genes encoding enzymes
such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolases (PETases) and polyhydroxybutyrate
(PHB) depolymerases, which are associated with microbial degradation of PET and PHB
plastics.
Description
DATA AVAILABILITY : Raw sequence reads (SRA accession numbers SRR17224336 and
SRR17224335) are available in the NCBI GenBank database under BioProject accession number
PRJNA785751. The archaeal MAGs were assigned BioSample numbers SAMN23575727 to
SAMN23575730, as well as GenBank accession numbers JAJPRB000000000, JAJPRC000000000,
JAJPRD000000000, and JAJPRE000000000. The versions described in this paper are the first
versions (JAJPRB010000000, JAJPRC010000000, JAJPRD010000000, and JAJPRE010000000).
