Something which is largely neglected is the convergence of microbial and viral communities within this ecosystem. Here, bioinformatics tools were applied to identify and characterize viral sequences from metagenomes derived from green and black microbial mat samples. These mats were associated with a thermal spring in Laguna Las Quintas, Jujuy province, Argentina. Assembled and annotated metagenomes based on two mats samples were used in a computational pipeline for predicting viral contigs along with taxonomic and functional profiles. Analysis performed showed great diversity of viruses associated with bacteria, archaea, cyanobacteria with genes related to structural, metabolic ecological functions; expanding knowledge about tropical environments’ viromes providing a basis for further studies on virus-host interactions and ecosystem dynamics in the Yungas rainforest.
