Here, we constructed metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 25 temperate forest phyllosphere samples collected in Eastern Canada. We found 423 dereplicated MAGs with completeness ≥ 50% and contamination ≤ 10%, using a combination of co-assembly strategies. The MAGs were predominantly classified into the bacterial phyla Pseudomonadota (n=197), Actinomycetota (n=88), and Acidobacteriota (n=50), and included 2 archaeal MAGs in the phylum Thermoproteota. These genomes can help to improve reference database entries of phyllosphere affiliated microbes, increasing our understanding of phyllosphere microbial phylogenomic and community dynamics and the ecological roles of phyllosphere microbiomes. - Received: - Version Posted: Funding - NSERC (Award RGPIN-2025-05608) - Principal Award Recipient: Steven Kembel - NSERC (Award RGPIN-2022-03907) - Principal Award Recipient: Vladimir Makarenkov
