Abstract
Permafrost contains one of the least known soil microbiomes, where microbial populations reside in an ice-locked environment. Here, 56 prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) sequences from 13 phyla are reported. These MAGs will provide information on metabolic pathways that could mediate biogeochemical cycles in Svalbard permafrost.
Highlights
Permafrost contains one of the least known soil microbiomes, where microbial populations reside in an ice-locked environment
We binned the contigs with MaxBin[2] v2.2.5 (9) and MetaBAT2 v2.12.1 (10) and dereplicated and aggregated them into metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) using DAS Tool v1.1.0 (11), which resulted in 64 MAGs
We further examined the taxonomic distribution of contigs within each MAG based on Kaiju v1.6.2 (13) annotations and removed contaminating contigs
