16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing of Epibiotic Microorganisms Associated with53 Nematode Samples

This dataset comprises16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from epibiotic microorganisms associated with53 nematode samples. The study aimed to investigate the microbial communities residing on the surface of these nematodes to understand their diversity and potential ecological roles. Nematode samples were collected from various environments, and DNA was extracted using standard protocols. The V3-V4 region of the16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced using Illumina MiSeq technology. The resulting sequences were quality-filtered, clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), and taxonomically classified to provide insights into the microbial composition. This dataset will be valuable for researchers studying host-microbe interactions, microbial ecology, and the potential applications of nematode-associated microorganisms.
