MAGs Overview

These 5,307 MAGs represented 17.6±8.6% of the microbial communities in Greenlandic soils by coverage, in stark contrast to the 0.001%–2.8% recovery rate of MAGs from eight other studies focused on the Arctic and the global environments.

Furthermore, a comparison of Greenlandic MAGs to those from 11 other studies and NCBI databases revealed that 94.8% of the MAGs had a maximum average nucleotide identity (ANI) below 95%, indicating we uncovered a large proportion of potentially novel species (n=5270/5307), genera (n=1710/5307), families (n=303/5307) and order (n=53/5307) from the Greenlandic microbiome.

Phylogenetic analysis of the MAGs revealed extensive microbial diversity in Greenlandic soils, identifying 5,277 bacterial and 30 archaeal MAGs. The most abundant phyla were Actinobacteriota (23.0%), Proteobacteria (21.8%), and Acidobacteriota (17.0%).

Our study provided a phylogenetic gain of 48.8%, significantly expanding the representation of known taxa, particularly Eremibacterota and Dormibacterota, which were respectively 6.9 and 3.4 times greater than those in the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) (Release 95).
