description Abstract Biogas production through the anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability and closing the carbon cycle. Over the past decade, this has driven global research on biogas-producing microbiomes, leading to significant advances in our understanding of microbial diversity and metabolic pathways within AD plants. However, substantial knowledge gaps persist, particularly in understanding the specific microbial communities involved in biogas production in countries such as South Korea. The present dataset addresses one of these gaps by providing comprehensive information on the metagenomes of five full-scale mesophilic biogas reactors in South Korea. From 110 GB of raw DNA sequences, 401 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were created, which include 42,301 annotated genes. Of these, 187 MAGs (46.7%) were classified as high-quality based on Minimum Information about Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MIMAG) standards. The data presented here contribute to a broader understanding of biogas-specific microbial communities and offers a significant resource for future studies and advancements in sustainable biogas production.
