Data underlying the publication: Divergence of microbial community composition and functionality upon serial transfers in novel substrates over 200 generations

The dataset was generated from an exploratory laboratory based study aimed to understand how microbial community diversity and its functionality respond following exposure to novel environments over time. For this, we propagating a shared ancestral mabisi microbial community in different substrates over 30 cycles, generating approximately 200 generations. By sampling at intervals and analyzing samples using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing as well as GCMS for volatile organic compounds and pH meter for pH changes, we were able to determine how both the community diversity and and its functioning shifts with different substrate treatment over time.

本数据集源自一项探索性实验室研究，旨在揭示微生物群落多样性及其功能随时间推移在暴露于新型环境后的响应规律。为此，我们将一株共享的始祖马比西（mabisi）微生物群落接种于不同底物中连续传代30个周期，共获得约200个世代。通过定期采样，并分别采用16S rDNA扩增子测序、气相色谱-质谱联用（GCMS）分析挥发性有机化合物、pH计检测pH值变化的方法对样本进行检测，我们得以明确微生物群落多样性及其功能随时间在不同底物处理下的演变规律。
