Soil Metagenome Sequences from a Geothermal Site at Mount Melbourne in Antarctica

Abstract

Here, we examined two soil metagenome data sets obtained from a geothermal site at the summit of Mount Melbourne in Antarctica. The geothermal soil microbiome exhibits very unique features of prokaryotic diversity and functions, which will provide deeper insight into the adaptation and evolution of soil microbes in Antarctic geothermal habitats.Here, we examined two soil metagenome data sets obtained from a geothermal site at the summit of Mount Melbourne in Antarctica.
