Abstract

This study presents 84 metagenome-assembled genomes from platinum mine tailings and non-mined soil. The analysis reveals diverse Proteobacteria. This work offers insights into pollutant degradation, resource recovery, and potential strategies for ecological restoration in mining-impacted environments.
