AMD microbiome

This project aims to characterize the microbial community composition and functional potential of an iron-oxidizing microbial consortium enriched from acid mine drainage (AMD). The consortium was enriched under laboratory conditions using AMD samples as inoculum. Metagenomic sequencing was performed to identify microbial taxa and functional genes involved in iron oxidation, transport, and metabolism. These data provide insights into microbial iron cycling and microbial interactions in AMD environments.
