Metagenome-assembled genomes from microbial communities producing lactic acid from dairy residues

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: To advance the knowledge of microbial communities capable of fermenting agro-industrial residues into value-added products, we report metagenomes of microbial communities from four anaerobic bioreactors fed a mixture of ultra-filtered milk permeate and cottage cheese acid whey. This analysis produced 42 unique metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) that represent distinct taxa.
