Abstract

We report 19 metagenome-assembled genomes from a deep underground microbial community found in mineralized hydrothermal spring in the Baksan Neutrino Observatory tunnel. The community is predominantly occupied by members of Pseudomonadota (Gamma-, Beta-, and Alphaproteobacteria), Planctomycetota, Myxococcota, Nitrospirota, Cyanobacteria, Gemmatimonadota, and Armatimonadota.
