This is a metagenomic study on Nyons table olive fungal communities

This study aimed at monitoring fungal community evolution of Nyons table olives during spontaneous fermentation in brine. The study includes 208 samples corresponding to nine sampling points from first day (day 1) to final day of fermentation (day 482). Fermentations of two harvest periods were studied and for each of them, two olive types (organically and conventionally grown) were monitored in biological triplicates. For all these fermentation conditions, olive fruit and brine were analysed separately. Total microbial DNA was extracted from the samples and submitted to metagenomic amplicon sequencing targeting the second Internal Transcribed spacer (ITS2).
