Muddy Rain Microorganisms from Granada: Metagenomic and Cultivable Isolates

Comprising metagenomic and cultivation data from five muddy rain samples collected in Granada, Spain, during 2021–2022. It identifies main microbial phyla like Pseudomonadota (64%) and Bacteroidota (13%), and lists 14 isolated cultivable microorganisms.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relative abundance of microbial phyla like Pseudomonadota and Bacteroidota in atmospheric deposition samples.
• Compare the taxonomic profiles from metagenomic analysis with the 14 cultivable isolates identified via 16S rRNA sequencing.
• Investigate the presence of specific genera, such as extremophiles or plant-beneficial bacteria like Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, described in the dataset.
• Study the potential mineral-bacteria interactions, including colonization of microsites and aggregate formation, mentioned in the sample context.

Strengths

• Includes both metagenomic analysis and cultivation data from 14 isolated microorganisms.
• Provides specific quantitative phylum-level abundances, such as Pseudomonadota at 64%.
• Samples were collected during five distinct muddy rain episodes over a two-year period (2021–2022).

Limitations

• Very small sample size of only five muddy rain collection events.
• Limited geographic scope, with all samples from a single location (Granada, Spain).
• Dataset is small (64.2 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary rather than raw sequence data.
