Abstract
We provide high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) derived from seawater and sea ice samples collected in the Southern Ocean. Several MAGs encode genes associated with dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyase activity and methane oxidation. This resource provides insights regarding the role of microbial communities in the production of key volatile compounds.
Description
DATA AVAILABILITY : Whole genome shotgun data were deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the BioProject accession PRJNA1167212 for assemblies and PRJNA1192238 for SRA submission. The BioSample accessions for the raw reads and genomes are listed in Table 1. EggNOG annotations for the MAGs are accessible through figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28430819 28430819.
