![Cave Microbiome Sampling](../assets/cave1-1.png)
(a) General overview of the cave. (b) Detailed images of the cave biofilms. The dashed line in panel a marks the stable gaseous chemocline between the volcanic gases (below the chemocline) and atmospheric air (above the chemocline). (c) A closer look on the biofilm where mark 7 shows the bare cave wall after biofilm sampling.

!!! question "Exercise"
- Analyze the microbial bins to identify which organism is utilizing CH₄ (methane) for growth. What is the taxonomic classification of this organism? Investigate the presence of relevant gene clusters responsible for methane metabolism.

??? done "Tip 2"
- Investigate the gene annotation for methane monooxygenase and reductive TCA cycle and analyze the surrounding genomic regions to identify nearby genes and their associated protein functions.
- Calculate the abundance of each bin by integrating the depth table with the binning results (use python/R).
