Data accompanying "Synergistic degradation of fucoidans in the ocean"

The tables provided on this repository accompany the analysis presented in the Global_ocean_microbial_fucoidan_degrader_analysis GitHub repository. The analysis and these accompanying tables are a component of the manuscript 'Synergistic degradation of fucoidans in the ocean'.

Description of tables:

isolates.env_samples_detected.tsv.gz = information on the samples where isolate-matched references have been detected (including samples, data source, locations and the strategy used to match the isolate to a reference)

The remaining tables encompass information on predicted fucoidan degrading species derived from the mOTUs database. Fucoidan degraders were defined as encoding at least 5 fucoidanase genes in their genome.

• motus.fucoidan_degraders.gene_annotations.tsv.gz = Annotations of genes encoded within fucoidan degrader species representative genomes (derived from mOTUs database). 
• motus.fucoidan_degraders.PULs.tsv.gz = Polysaccharide Utilisation Loci annotations of fucoidan degrader species representative genomes 
• motus.fucoidan_degraders.summary.tsv.gz = Summary of fucoidan degradation potential and taxonomic classification of fucoidan degrader species representative genomes
• motus.fucoidan_degraders.community_profiles.tsv.gz = Abundances of fucoidan degraders and co-occuring species (mOTUs) across ocean metagenomes
