Predicting oxygen levels in microbial habitats using a metagenome-based approach | mSystems

Oxygen is one of the most important environmental variables affecting microbial activity and composition, but is often difficult to measure in situ. We developed a tool, OxyMetaG, that leverages differences in bacterial gene content across known aerobic and anaerobic taxa to predict the oxygen level of a given sample directly from shotgun metagenomic reads. OxyMetaG works on samples with low sequencing depth and avoids computationally expensive genome assembly, which often captures only a fraction of the microbial community in a given environment. With OxyMetaG, bacteria can be used as bioindicators of oxygen availability over broader time scales than just a single measurement and provide crucial environmental context in cases where oxygen has not been or cannot be measured. OxyMetaG is publicly available and can be used to answer a wide variety of ecological questions in both environmental and host-associated systems.
