Tropical Soil Metagenome Library Reveals Complex Microbial Assemblage
Abstract
In this work, we characterized the metagenome of a Malaysian mangrove soil sample via next generation sequencing (NGS). Shotgun NGS data analysis revealed high diversity of microbes from Bacteria and Archaea domains. The metabolic potential of the metagenome was reconstructed using the NGS data and the SEED classification in MEGAN shows abundance of virulence factor genes, implying that mangrove soil is potential reservoirs of pathogens.
