Microbial Communities in Ferromanganese Sediments from the Northern Basin of Lake Baikal (Russia).

ABSTRACT: We analyzed the amplicons of the 16S rRNA genes and assembled metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of the enrichment culture from the Fe-Mn layer to have an insight into the diversity and metabolic potential of microbial communities from sediments of two sites in the northern basin of Lake Baikal. Organotrophic Chloroflexota, Actionobacteriota, and Acidobacteriota, as well as aerobic and anaerobic participants of the methane cycle (Methylococcales and Methylomirabilota, respectively), dominated the communities of the surface layers. With depth, one of the cores showed a decrease in the proportion of the Chloroflexota and Acidobacteriota members and a substantial increase in the sequences of the phylum Firmicutes. The proportion of the Desu
