a Overview of the microbial community composition derived from metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) extracted from six soil and six sediment samples in the Larsemann Hills (LH), as well as two soil samples from South Victoria Land (SVL). The statistical box in the top right corner presents the numerical distribution of the MAGs retrieved from the studied samples (Co-assemblies are not included in this statistic). b Distribution of selected key functional genes in the obtained MAGs, including those involved in respiration, N-cycling, carbon fixation, and trace gas metabolism. The adjacent heatmap displays the distribution of these genes across a set of 1968 MAGs, comprising 29 phyla. Summary and statistics of the presence/absence of key metabolic marker genes in the obtained MAGs are provided in Supplementary Data 1 and 2. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
