178 Metagenome-Assembled Genomes from a Subterranean Estuary in China

178 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were recovered from sediment in a subterranean estuary in Houmen, Shanwei, China. Annotations for these genomes were generated using the Prokka tool, providing gene predictions, protein sequences, and nucleotide sequences. The dataset was authored by zhang baoshan and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on the 178 recovered microbial genomes.
• Functional annotation of microbial communities based on Prokka-generated gene predictions.
• Study of biogeochemical cycling in coastal aquifers based on genomes from subterranean estuary sediments.

Strengths

• Contains 178 distinct metagenome-assembled genomes.
• Annotations include multiple file types (GFF, FAA, FNA, TXT) generated by the Prokka pipeline.
• Dataset size is 864.3 MB, indicating substantial genomic content.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single sampling location in China.
