# Bacterial genomes recovered from litter’s metagenomes in Amazonian Dark Earths

## TL;DR

This study identifies 27 bacterial genomes from soil samples in Brazil's Amazonian Dark Earths, revealing diverse bacterial communities.

## Contribution

The study contributes new bacterial genomes from understudied Amazonian Dark Earths, expanding knowledge of microbial diversity in this region.

## Key findings

- 27 bacterial genomes were assembled from litter samples in Amazonian Dark Earths.
- The genomes belong to diverse bacterial phyla, including Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota.
- This dataset provides insights into microbial communities in secondary forests over Amazonian Dark Earths.

## Abstract

Here, we report 27 metagenome-assembled bacterial genomes (MAGs) from litter samples of a secondary forest located in Brazil over an Amazonian Dark Earth pool. The data set includes members from the phyla Pseudomonadata (14 MAGs), Actinomycetota (7 MAGs), Bacteroidota (4 MAGs), Bacillota (1 MAG), and Bdellovibrionota (1 MAG).
