# Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of the emerging pathogen Shewanella algae from enrichment of coastal seawater, sediment, and algae at St. John’s Island, Singapore

## TL;DR

Researchers assembled genomes of the emerging pathogen Shewanella algae from coastal samples in Singapore.

## Contribution

The study provides 29 metagenome-assembled genomes representing Shewanella algae from diverse coastal environments.

## Key findings

- 29 metagenome-assembled genomes were identified as Shewanella algae.
- Samples were collected from coastal water, sediment, and algae in Singapore.
- Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze DNA from enrichment cultures.

## Abstract

Coastal water, sediment, and algae samples were collected from St. John’s Island, Singapore, and enriched in either broth or agar. Metagenomic sequencing was carried out on DNA from these enrichments and analyzed. A total of 29 metagenome-assembled genomes had been successfully asserted to be a close representation of Shewanella algae.
