Tomato Seed Extract Effects on Gut Microbiota, Ex Vivo Study Data

Jenni Firrman's dataset contains ex vivo study data on the effects of tomato seed extracts on the human gut microbiota. The data includes shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing, biomass cell counts, short-chain fatty acid concentrations, gas, and pH measurements from 48-hour incubations. It was last updated on May 22, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in microbial community composition based on shotgun metagenomic sequencing data.
• Correlate biomass cell counts with short-chain fatty acid concentrations.
• Model the relationship between pH and gas production measurements.
• Link donor metadata to microbial and metabolic outcomes.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple measurement types: sequencing, cell counts, metabolite concentrations, gas, and pH.
• Sample IDs link to sequencing data in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive under BioProject PRJNA961974.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC0-1.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is 1.9 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
