1.8km deep Mt. Simon Sandstone pore water metagenome, Illinois Basin-Decatur Project

The D5872 metagenome was derived from an indigenous low-diversity microbial community inhabiting warm saline formation pore water in the Cambrian Mt. Simon Sandstone within the Illinois Basin of the North American Midcontinent at 1.8 km burial depth. This microbial community is dominated by g-Proteobacteria that are phylogenetically closely related to Halomonas sulfidaeris.D5872宏基因组（metagenome）源自北美中部大陆伊利诺伊盆地寒武纪西蒙山砂岩中埋藏深度1.8千米处的温暖盐渍地层孔隙水内的土著低多样性微生物群落。该微生物群落以系统发育上与硫化嗜盐单胞菌（Halomonas sulfidaeris）密切相关的γ-变形菌纲（γ-Proteobacteria）为优势类群。
