Diversity and Metabolic Potential of the Terrestrial Mud Volcano Microbial Community with a High Abundance of Archaea Mediating the Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane. volcano metagenome

During ongoing investigations of the microbial diversity in terrestrial mud volcanoes we have found unexpectedly high abundance of 16S rRNA gene sequences of ANME-3 archaea in one of the studied samples. Here, we present the results on assembled metagenome of this microbial community. Analysis of the recovered high-quality metagenome-assembled ge-nomes (MAGs) of archaeal and bacterial community members allowed us to reveal their core metabolic capabilities and to get insights into metabolism of anaerobic metha-notrophs of ANME-3 group.
