TL;DR
This study explores soil and plant-root microbes in Antarctica to understand how plants influence microbial communities and functions.
Contribution
The paper provides a large dataset of metagenomes and MAGs from Antarctic rhizosphere and soil.
Findings
52 metagenomes and 1,484 MAGs were generated from soil and rhizosphere samples.
The study focuses on microbial interactions in the extreme environment of Antarctica.
Abstract
Rhizosphere microbes establish functional interactions with their hosts, impacting plant fitness. To further understand plant effects on microbial composition and functional diversity, we present 52 metagenomes and 1,484 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from soil and the rhizosphere of Colobanthus quitensis and Deschampsia antarctica.
