Alkaline Anaerobic Reactor Metagenome. anaerobic digester metagenome

Alkaline anaerobic reactor inoculated with soda lake sediments and operated at haloalkaline conditions (pH 10; 2.0 M Na+). The reactor was fed exclusively with Spirulina.DNA and RNA for sequencing were obtained after 100 days of operation. Sequencing was performed with the IonTorrent platform. DNA sequences were assembled into metagenomic contigs. Transcriptome analysis was carried out by mapping the transcripts to the assembled DNA contigs.
