Collection of subsurface bacteria Nitrospirota and Nitrospinota genome data including IMG and NCBI accessions for sequence datasets in June 2021 (Slow Life in Crust project)

The phyla Nitrospirota and Nitrospinota have received significant research attention due to their unique mitrogen metabolisms important to biogeochemical and industrial processes. These phyla are common inhabitants of marine and terrestrial subsurface environments and contain members capable of diverse physiologies in addition to nitrite oxidation and complete ammonia oxidation. We used phylogenomics and gene-based analysis with ancestral state reconstruction and gene-tree-species tree reconciliation methods to investigate the life histories of these two phyla. This dataset includes list of previously-published sequence datasets that were used for the analysis. The data and interpretations are published at DOI 10.1038/s41396-023-01397-x. Additional metadata such as NCBI accessions, assembly release dates, and NCBI taxon ids were added in December 2024.
