Dataset for the article "Soil bacterial neutral lipid fatty acids: Markers for carbon storage or necromass?"

The following are data and code used for statistical analysis and figure plotting in the manuscript Soil bacterial neutral lipid fatty acids: Markers for carbon storage or necromass?, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2025, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2025.109855 It contains the following files: Soil PLFA and NLFA data (Fig_2_3.zip) Total ion chromatogram (TIC) area data (soil_area.csv) Extraction weights and weights of lower phase for transfer correction (soil_weights.csv) Data for correcting added methyl group during derivatisation, and soil fatty acid specificities (soil_phylum.csv) An R script producing the calculations and plotting for Fig. 2, Fig. 3, and Table 2 (Fig_2_3.R) JGI IMG/M ER gene search data (Fig_5.zip) All soil bacterial isolates in the JGI IMG/MER database (Bacteria_soil_all.txt) Soil bacterial isolates which show WS/DGAT, DAGAT, and phaR (Bacteria_soil_pfam06974_WSDGAT.txt, Bacteria_soil_pfam03982_DAGAT.txt, Bacteria_soil_pfam07879_phaR.txt) NCBI data with unique species IDs and names (NCBI_species_names.csv) An R script producing the calculations and cladogram for Fig. 5 and Table 4 (Fig_5.R) 13C-labelled glucose addition experiment data (Fig_6.zip) Absolute abundance data in nmol C g-1 dry weight of the PLFA and NLFA data from soil extracts (nmolC.csv) Relative 13C enrichment of PLFAs and NLFAs in at%13C (atp.csv) Taxonomic group assignments of fatty acids (phylum.csv) An R script producing the calculations and plotting for Fig. 6 (Fig_6.R)
