Abstract:
This data report presents prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from a hot spring stream with temperatures between 64 and 100°C. The stream water was filtered and the extracted total DNA was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. Approximately 80 Gb of raw data were generated, which were subsequently assembled using MEGAHIT v1.2.9. The MAGs were generated using MetaWRAP with binning approaches of MetaBAT2, CONCOCT and MaxBin2. We constructed 25 medium-quality and 24 high-quality archaeal MAGs, and 152 medium-quality and 112 high-quality bacterial MAGs. The fasta files of these MAGs are available in the NCBI database as well as Mendeley Data. Major phyla identified include Bacteroidota, Chloroflexota, Desulfobacterota, Firmicutes, Patescibacteria, Proteobacteria, Spirochaetota, Verrucomicrobiota, Armatimonadota, Nitrospirota, Acidobacteriota, Elusimicrobiota, Planctomycetota, Candidate division WOR-3, Aquificota, Thermoproteota, and Micrarchaeota. This dataset is valuable for studies on thermophilic genomes, reconstruction of biochemical pathways and gene discovery.
