Metagenomic sequencing reveals assembled genomes of nitrogen-fixing Nostoc and co-occurring bacterial strains, highlighting stable microbial community dynamics in laboratory culture.
We report here metagenome-assembled genomes from a long-term laboratory culture of the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. TISTR 8405, originally sourced from a Thai freshwater lake. The community consists of two additional co-occurring microorganisms, Erythrobacter sp. THAI-01 and Allorhizobium sp. THAI-01, and contains putative plasmids associated with Nostoc and Allorhizobium , respectively.
