dc.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). | en_US |
dc.description.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. | en_US |
