Metagenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes from a nutrient removal plant at Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) that transitioned from high to low dissolved oxygen

TL;DR

This paper presents metagenomic data from a wastewater treatment plant that transitioned to low oxygen conditions to reduce energy use.

Contribution

The study provides new metagenomic datasets and assembled genomes from a wastewater plant under low dissolved oxygen conditions.

Findings

Five metagenomes and 492 MAGs were obtained from the Pomona plant before and after DO reduction.

The dataset captures microbial community changes during a transition to low DO conditions.

Abstract

Operating biological nutrient removal (BNR) wastewater treatment plants with low dissolved oxygen (DO) conditions can reduce energy costs. We report on five metagenomes and 492 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) obtained from samples collected at the Pomona water reclamation plant before and after a DO reduction from 3.5 to 0.7 mg/L.
