Dataset

The dataset was generated from an exploratory laboratory based study aimed to understand how microbial community diversity and its functionality respond following exposure to novel environments over time. For this, we propagating a shared ancestral mabisi microbial community in different substrates over 30 cycles, generating approximately 200 generations. By sampling at intervals and analyzing samples using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing as well as GCMS for volatile organic compounds and pH meter for pH changes, we were able to determine how both the community diversity and and its functioning shifts with different substrate treatment over time.
