Draft and complete metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) were created from multiple metagenomic assemblies of DGG-B, a strictly anaerobic, stable mixed microbial consortium that degrades benzene completely to methane and CO 2 . Our objective was to obtain closed genome sequences of benzene-fermenting bacteria to enable the elucidation of their elusive anaerobic benzene degradation pathway.
