Metagenomic data from gutter water in the city of Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo

Résumé

After Amazonia, the Congo Basin represents the second-largest tropical rainforest area in the world. This basin harbours remarkable biodiversity, yet much of its microbiological diversity within its waters, soils, and populations remains largely unexplored and undiscovered. While many initiatives to characterize global biodiversity are being undertaken, few are conducted in Africa and none of them concern the Congo Basin specifically in urban areas. In this context, we assessed the microbial diversity present in gutter water in the city of Pointe-Noire, Congo. This town has interesting characteristics as the population density is high and it is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the forest of Mayombe in Central Africa. The findings illuminate the microbial composition of surface water in Pointe-Noire. The dataset allows the identification of putative new bacteria through the assembly of 81 meta-genome-assembled genomes. It also serves as a valuable primary resource for assessing the presence of antibiotic-resistant genes, offering a useful tool for monitoring risks by public health authorities.
