Microbial Community Analysis FASTQ Sequencing

Microbial community analysis of biocathode and bioanode biofilms in the study "Comparative evaluation of CO₂ feeding strategies in a dual-biocatalyzed microbial electrosynthesis system with a glycerol-fed bioanode" The codes of the file names correspond to the following details: GBC2054 – Initial sludge/inoculum GBC2049 – GDE-anode, CO₂-fed GBC2048 – GDE-cathode, CO₂-fed GBC2047 – GDE-anode, bicarbonate-fed GBC2046 – GDE-cathode, bicarbonate-fed For example, the filename GBC2046_GBC0016_17_S1_R1_001.fastq corresponds to the GDE-cathode sample from the bicarbonate-fed system. The R1 and R2 designations correspond to the paired-end sequencing reads (Read 1 and Read 2). All procedures were performed by the sequencing provider (Global Biosciences Center, Lisbon, Portugal), and the resulting data were used for downstream community composition, diversity, and functional analyses.
