Abstract
The phyllosphere is host to diverse microbial communities surviving in dynamic environmental conditions and which form important relationships with their hosts. Here, we constructed metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 25 temperate forest phyllosphere samples collected in Eastern Canada. We found 423 dereplicated MAGs with completeness ≥50% and contamination ≤10%, using a combination of co-assembly strategies. The MAGs were predominantly classified into the bacterial phyla Pseudomonadota (n=197), Actinomycetota (n=88) and Acidobacteriota (n=50) and included two archaeal MAGs in the phylum Thermoproteota. These genomes can help to improve reference database entries of phyllosphere-affiliated microbes, increasing our understanding of phyllosphere microbial phylogenomic and community dynamics and the ecological roles of phyllosphere microbiomes.
