Metagenomic and Genomic Sequences from a Methanogenic Benzene-Degrading Consortium.

ABSTRACT: Draft and complete metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) were created from multiple metagenomic assemblies of DGG-B, a strictly anaerobic, stable mixed microbial consortium that degrades benzene completely to methane and CO₂. Our objective was to obtain closed genome sequences of benzene-fermenting bacteria to enable the elucidation of their elusive anaerobic benzene degradation pathway.
