Soil samples were collected in triplicate in the fall of 2017 across the three grassland locations having differences in historical annual precipitation field site locations (WA, IA, KS). For each location, one deeply sequenced composite metagenome was obtained to detect viral contigs using a...

To enable a comprehensive survey of the metabolic potential of complex soil microbiomes, we performed ultra-deep metagenome sequencing, collecting >1 terabase of sequence data from grassland soils representing different precipitation regimes. Soil sample collections representing an arid regime soil...

Investigation of the successional dynamics of a soil microbiome during 21-weeks of enrichment on chitin and its monomer, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Soil community succession was observed and analyzed over time in both a physically heterogeneous soil matrix as well as a homogeneous liquid medium...
