Metagenome and metatranscriptome analysis of methane seep sediment and microcosms from Santa Monica Basin

The anaerobic oxidation of methane is mediated by the syntrophic partnership of anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). This is a bulk metagenome sequencing and transcriptome microcosm experiments of methane seep sediment from Santa Monica Basin (sample ID 7142). 4 metagenome-assembled genomes (ANME-2a S7142MS1, ANME-2c S7142MS2, SEEP-SRB1a S7142MS3, SEEP-SRB1g S7142MS4) were reconstructed from sequences with coverage>30. Also, transcriptome sequencing was done on a set of microcosms after 3 and 9 days with different electron acceptors to understand the metabolism and symbiosis in the ANME-SRB consortia.
