Whole-metagenome data on traditional beer-starter 'emao'

The amino acid sequences in fasta format were obtained from the whole-metagenome sequence of six pooled <i>emao</i> samples. The amino acid sequences assigned to KEGG Orthology (KO) genes were used for predicting metabolic modules in MAPLE system. The KOs assigned to ribosomal protein module (M91000) were extracted and used for species identification using GHOSTX homology search against NCBI-nr database. The RMA file containing ribosomal protein-based taxonomic information can be viewed using MEGAN program.
