The Schlöppnerbrunnen fens are a long studied model system for peatland/wetland research. This BioProject includes metagenome-assembled genomes binned from PRJNA412436.
Sulphur-cycling microorganisms impact organic matter decomposition in wetlands and consequently greenhouse gas emissions from these globally relevant environments. However, their identities and physiological properties are largely unknown. By applying a functional metagenomics approach to an acidic peatland, we recovered 13 draft genomes with the potential for dissimilatory sulphur metabolism.
