Functional assessment of microbial community potentially involved in carbon monoxide (CO) production in compost: pathways, enzymes, and genes

<p class=""><span style="font-size:12.04px">The dataset contains data related to the study described in the article &#34;Analysis of microbial community potentially involved in carbon monoxide production in compost and its functional assessment: Utilized pathways, enzymes, and genes&#34;, published in Science of The Total Environment (DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.178860).</span></p><p class=""><span style="font-size:12.04px">It includes results from a functional profiling analysis of compost microbial communities, performed using the PICRUSt2 tool.
