TL;DR
This paper presents high-quality genomes from Southern Ocean microbes, revealing their role in producing volatile compounds like methane and DMSP.
Contribution
The study provides new metagenome-assembled genomes linked to DMSP lyase and methane oxidation genes in Southern Ocean microbes.
Findings
MAGs encode genes for DMSP lyase activity, important in sulfur cycling.
MAGs also contain genes for methane oxidation, indicating microbial roles in greenhouse gas regulation.
The genomes offer insights into microbial contributions to volatile compound production in the Southern Ocean.
Abstract
We provide high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) derived from seawater and sea ice samples collected in the Southern Ocean. Several MAGs encode genes associated with dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyase activity and methane oxidation. This resource provides insights regarding the role of microbial communities in the production of key volatile compounds.
