Abstract

Two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were recovered from the ammonia-oxidizing enrichment culture BO1 obtained from the sediment of the freshwater reservoir Lake Burr Oak, Ohio, USA. High quality MAGs were assembled for the archaeal ammonia oxidizer Nitrosarchaeum sp. BO1 and the canonical nitrite oxidizer Nitrospira sp. BO1.

Keywords: ammonia oxidation; ammonia-oxidizing archaea; enrichment culture; nitrification; nitrite-oxidizing bacteria.
