Investigating microbiome and transcriptome data to uncover the key microbial community involved in lignocellulose degradation within the Deulajhari hot spring consortium.

ABSTRACT: Geothermally heated spring water contaminated with decomposed leaf biomass creates unique hot spring ecosystems that support the recycling of diverse nutrients and harbor microbial consortia capable of degrading lignocellulose. We present microbiome and transcriptome data from the bacterial consortium of Deulajhari hot springs, characterized by a temperature of approximately 58 °C and surrounded by a dense population of pandanus plants in Angul, Odisha, India. Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics datasets were generated by extracting total DNA and RNA from the consortium sample of hotspring sediment, followed by shotgun sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The metagenomics dataset produced approximately 38,694 contigs, while the metatranscriptomics dataset yielded 9226 contig
