Antarctic soil prokaryotic diversity: a dataset of 319 metagenome-assembled genomes from Deception and Livingston Islands
A total of 319 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were recovered from soil samples collected on the Antarctic Peninsula (Deception and Livingston Islands). These MAGs reveal microbial life's phylogenetic diversity and functional potential in extreme polar environments, providing resources for advancing microbial ecology, evolution, and Antarctic biotechnology.
