Draft metagenomes of endolithic cyanobacteria and co-habitants from hyper-arid deserts
Abstract
Cyanobacteria are essential to microbial communities inhabiting translucent rocks in hyper-arid deserts. Metagenomic studies revealed unique adaptations of these cyanobacteria but validation of the corresponding metabolic pathways remained challenging without access to isolates. Here we present high-quality metagenome assembled genomes for cyanobacteria, and their heterotrophic companions, isolated from endolithic substrates.
