Metagenome sequencing of the microbial community of a solar saltern crystallizer pond at cáhuil lagoon, chile

Alvaro M Plominsky et al. Genome Announc. .

Abstract

Cáhuil Lagoon in central Chile harbors distinct microbial communities in various solar salterns that are arranged as interconnected ponds with increasing salt concentrations. Here, we report the metagenome of the 3.0- to 0.2-µm fraction of the microbial community present in a crystallizer pond with 34% salinity.
