Metagenome-assembled genomes from microbial communities in lab-scale anaerobic bioreactors treating simulated dairy wastewater

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This dataset describes metagenome-assembled genomes from three lab-scale (4L) expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors treating synthetic dairy wastewater. The resulting MAGs encompass 60 phyla with average genome completeness of 78.68% and average contamination of 2.29%. These genomes represent a valuable resource for studying anaerobic bioreactors used in wastewater treatment.
