Metagenome-assembled genomes from biological soil crusts in sandy sediments of Kitty Todd Nature Preserve, OH, USA

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Biological soil crusts (BSCs) are complex structures composed of prokaryotes, green microalgae, fungi, and small mosses that bind soil particles together. To further understand the microbial composition and interactions among members of these consortia, we investigated the microbial diversity of BSCs found in a xeric patch in northwestern Ohio.
