Metagenome of environmental sample from a cold seep
The microorganisms inhabiting cold seeps transform the chemical energy in methane to products that sustain rich benthic communities around the gas leaks . The use of next-generation sequencing methods has tremendously improved the insights into seep microbiomes and will advance microbial ecology from the diversity microbial distribution pattern to the adaptive survival strategy in deep-sea environments. We collected a set of samples from a cold seep in South China Sea and obtained a set of draft genomes of environmental Bacteria and Archaea.
