Abstract

We sequenced the metagenome of a biofilm collected near a leachate stream of the Marsberg copper mine (Germany) and reconstructed eight metagenome-assembled genomes. These genomes yield copper resistance through Cu(I) oxidation via multiple copper oxidases and extrusion through copper-exporting P-type ATPases.
