Replication data for : Impact of DNA extraction and sampling methods on bacterial communities monitored by 16S rDNA metabarcoding in cold-smoked salmon and processing plant surfaces

Information data on the diversity of bacterial communities present on 12 samples of cold smoked salmon, 18 samples of stainless steal coupons placed in a food processing environment and 115 samples of stainless steal and tri-polyurethane coupons placed in a food processing environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate DNA extraction and sampling methods biases on 16S metabarcoding studies. Sequencing data were generated by using Illumina MiSeq.
