Methanobacteriaceae

<strong>Data for the Methanobacetriaceae analysis.</strong> <br> Metagenomes and associated sample metadata from a globally distributed set of studies were gathered from the curatedMetagenomicData (Pasolli et al. 2017) by Youngblut et al. (2020). Briefly, (i) metagenome were profiled with the HUMAnN2 pipeline to obtain metabolic pathways profiles based on the MetaCyc database and with Kraken2 and Bracken v2.2 based on a customized Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB), Release 89.0 created with Struo v0.1.6 (available athttp://ftp.tue.mpg.de/ebio/projects/struo/) for the taxonomic profiles; (ii) rare taxa were filtered out and taxonomic ranks from family to species were included (n = 2190 taxa; 181 families, 562 genera and 1447 species); (iii) relative abundances of MetaCyc metabolic pathways at the community level with complete coverage and a prevalence greater than 25 % were included (n = 117 pathways). <br> ---------------------------------------------- <br> Metadata: information on samples <br> Taxa relative abundances - no methanogens: relative abundances of at the family, genus, and species levels; all Methanobacteriaceae were removed. <br> MetaCyc pathways - no methanogens: relative abundances at the community level of MetaCyc pathways; all pathways to which Methanobacteriaceae participate were removed. <br> Methanogens-targets: predicted target = presence/absence of Methanobacteriaceae (Mtbc). The Msmi column corresponds to the presence/absence of the species Methanobrevibacter smithii. <br> <br>
