Abstract

We recovered 57 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from benthic microbial mat pinnacles from Lake Vanda, Antarctica. These MAGs provide access to genomes from polar environments and can assist in culturing and utilizing these Antarctic bacteria.

Keywords: Antarctica; metagenome-assembled genomes; microbial mat.
