Abstract

Here, we report 7 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) isolated from acid mine drainage sites in the eastern United States. Three genomes are Archaea, including two from the phylum Thermoproteota and one from Euryarchaeota. Four genomes are bacterial, with one from the phylum Candidatus Eremiobacteraeota (formerly WPS-2), one from Acidimicrobiales (Actinobacteria), and two from Gallionellaceae (Proteobacteria).
