A Metagenome from a Steam Vent in Los Azufres Geothermal Field Shows an Abundance of Thermoplasmatales archaea and Bacteria from the Phyla Actinomycetota and Pseudomonadota.

Los Azufres National Park is a geothermal field that has a wide number of thermal manifestations; nevertheless, the microbial communities in many of these environments remain unknown. In this study, a metagenome from a sediment sample from Los Azufres National Park was sequenced. In this metagenome, we found that the microbial diversity corresponds to bacteria (Actinomycetota, Pseudomonadota), archaea (Thermoplasmatales and Micrarchaeota and Parvarchaeota), eukarya (), and viruses ( and Caudoviricetes).

Metagenome-Assembled Genome of FLA01 from Fumarole Sediments from the Los Azufres Geothermal Field.

The Los Azufres geothermal field contains diverse microbial communities inhabiting thermal springs whose bacterial genomic diversity is being analyzed. Here, we describe a metagenome-assembled genome of FLA01 obtained from fumarole sediment sequencing data. The genome contained genes for carbon fixation, osmotic shock, and heavy metal resistance.
