Active microbial lineages inhabit the deep terrestrial subsurface (
The deep subsurface environment remains underrepresented in metagenomic databases, and yet the publicly available datasets are not synoptically analyzed in an integrated way. In this project, we collected a large set of publicly available and published metagenomes, published metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) as well as single cell amplified genomes (SAGs) originating from global deep oligotrophic terrestrial subsurface samples (>70 m). Reconstructed MAGs/SAGs from this survey were integrated in to our own existing Fennoscandian Shield Genomic Database (FSGD) (
This extensive study of the global deep oligotrophic terrestrial subsurface will reveal whether deep terrestrial populations are ubiquitous and how their distribution patterns are affected by different physicochemical variables such as water types and geology. By Identifying key populations present across multiple global groundwaters, our study will advance our understanding of the global diversity hosted in deep oligotrophic terrestrial subsurface ecosystems.
