We describe the metagenome composition, community functional annotation, and prokaryote diversity in calcareous stromatolites from a dry stream bed of the San Felipe Creek in the Anza Borrego Desert. Analyses show a community capable of nitrogen fixation, assimilatory nitrate reduction, biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and potential thick-walled akinete formation for desiccation resistance.
我们描述了来自安萨博雷戈沙漠圣费利佩溪干涸河床的钙质叠层石中的宏基因组组成、群落功能注释和原核生物多样性。分析表明,该群落具有固氮、同化硝酸盐还原、生物膜形成、群体感应以及形成潜在的厚壁静止孢子以抵抗干燥的能力。
