Bacterial bins/MAGs recovered from lichen samples

Bacterial contigs greater than 3000 bp in length were clustered into metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) using Autometa (v 2.2.1). All recovered bins were assessed for quality using CheckM2 (v.1.0.2) and taxonomically classified using GTDB-Tk (v.2.3.2) using Release 214 as a reference. A total of 2842 MAGs were recovered of which 339 (11.9%) were of high quality and 1091 (38.4%) were of medium quality per MiMAG reporting standards.
