Long-term Copper-Salt Stress-Induced Metabolic Modulation in Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Kandelia obovata Drives Species-Specific Rhizobacterial Recruitment for Improved Tolerance

This dataset supports the findings of the study "Long-term Copper-Salt Stress-Induced Metabolic Modulation in Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Kandelia obovata Drives Species-Specific Rhizobacterial Recruitment for Improved Tolerance."

The dataset consists of five (5) Excel files labeled: Excel Sheet S1_Up_Downregulated DEMs_Bgymnorhiza; Excel Sheet S2_Up_Downregulated DEMs_Kobovata; Excel Sheet S3_Unique and similar DEMs; Excel Sheet S4_Enriched_Pathways_Bgymnorhiza; and Excel Sheet S5_Enriched_Pathways_Kobovata.

The Excel Sheets S1 and S2 provide the complete metabolic profile of the rhizospheres and roots of two mangroves; Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Kandelia obovata, under single copper, salt, and dual copper-salt stress over a 4-year experimental period. The data shows both the upregulated and downregulated metabolites. After sorting the data for similarities and differences between treatments, Excel Sheet S3 summarizes the profiles of metabolites that were uniquely or commonly altered in the rhizospheres and roots of both species. Finally, Excel Sheets S4 and S5 provide the complete list of altered metabolic pathways and their associated metabolites under different treatment conditions. The results presented in the dataset support the species-specific metabolic modulation for stress tolerance via the recruitment of novel, diverse, and tolerant microorganisms for ecosystem resilience.
