Abstract
Silvia Acinas et al. report the Malaspina Gene Database, a gene catalogue from deep ocean microbes and the Malaspina Deep Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) which is made publicly available. The analysis of the metabolic pathways within these MAGs sheds light on the composition and of the strategies these microbes use to survive the deep ocean microbiome.
