Title: Datasets used in manuscript, 'High-Throughput Chromosomal Confirmation Capture (Hi-C) Metagenome Sequencing Reveals Moisture Impact on Soil Phage-Host Interactions'

Abstract

Soil moisture shifts have largely unknown impacts on soil virus-host interactions. Here, we applied high-throughput chromosomal confirmation capture (Hi-C) metagenomics to link phage with their hosts in soils under wet and dry conditions. Bulk metagenomes and metatranscriptomes were analyzed from the same soil incubations. Host-associated phage diversity and the number of viruses per host increased following soil desiccation. Under wet conditions, the viral enrichment and host abundances were significantly negatively correlated, but the transcriptional activities of the phage were higher. Together, these results suggest that there was a general transition of phage from lytic to lysogenic during drying and that viral infection was higher under dry conditions. Soil desiccation also caused shifts in phage hosts and some of these were central in microbial co-occurrence networks, highlighting the impact of soil phages on microbiome structure. This study provides the first empirical evidence of phage-mediated bacterial dynamics during soil desiccation.
