ASV data of ephemeral plant rhizosphere microorganisms

This dataset provides amplicon sequence variant (ASV) data of rhizosphere
microbial communities associated with ephemeral plants. The study focused
on characterizing the diversity and composition of bacterial communities
in the rhizosphere soil of dominant ephemeral plant species. Soil samples
were collected from the root zone of selected ephemeral plants in the
Gurbantünggüt Desert across seedling and flowering stages. Microbial DNA
was extracted from rhizosphere soils, and the bacterial 16S rRNA gene (V4
region) was amplified and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 following
standard protocols. Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) were inferred and
taxonomically classified against the SILVA 138.1 database.
