Rhizobium Plasmid Coinfection Effects on Pea and Clover Symbiosis

Eleanor Harrison's dataset tests the impact of introducing a novel symbiosis plasmid (pJB5JI) into 11 Rhizobium leguminosarum strains. It contains measurements of bacterial growth rates in lab media and plant growth parameters from pea and clover seedling experiments. The data was last updated on 2026-05-06.

Use Cases

• Analyzing plasmid maintenance under lab evolution based on the 12-transfer experiment.
• Comparing plant growth and nodulation efficiency between original and transconjugant strains.
• Tracking the presence of viciae and trifolii symbiosis plasmids across different experimental conditions.

Strengths

• Includes data from three distinct experimental phases: lab growth, pea plant tests, and clover plant tests.
• Provides plasmid screening results for isolates from plant and lab evolution experiments.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

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 small in scale at 106.6 KB.
