Metagenomic analysis reveals that modern microbialites and polar microbial mats have similar taxonomic and functional potential

Within the subarctic climate of Clinton Creek, Yukon, Canada, lies an abandoned and flooded open-pit asbestos mine that harbors rapidly growing microbialites. To understand their formation we completed a metagenomic community profile of the microbialites and their surrounding sediments. Assembled me...
