The microbiome of the soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum and its response to environmental stress. Lobophytum pauciflorum

This entry contains raw sequence data of the microbial community associated with the soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum generated with Illumina MiSeq (16S rRNA gene amplicon). The microbial community of L. pauciflorum was dominated by Spriochaetes and Endozoicomonas. At class level no difference between male and female colonies was detected. Exposure of soft coral fragements to increased temperature (31 °C), decreased pH (7.9) or both stressors simultaneously for 12 days did not significantly alter the microbial community, indicating that the soft coral microbiome is stable and resilient to short term environmental stress.

本数据集包含采用Illumina MiSeq测序平台（基于16S rRNA基因扩增子）获取的、与少叶软珊瑚（Lobophytum pauciflorum）相关的微生物群落原始测序数据。少叶软珊瑚的微生物群落以螺旋体门（Spriochaetes）和内共生菌属（Endozoicomonas）为优势类群。在纲分类水平上，未检测到雄性与雌性珊瑚群体间的微生物群落差异。将软珊瑚片段分别置于升温（31℃）、pH降低（7.9）或同时施加两种胁迫条件下培养12天后，其微生物群落未发生显著改变，表明该软珊瑚的微生物组对短期环境胁迫兼具稳定性与抗逆性。
