Metabolomic Evidence of Plastisphere Response to Nitrogen Loading

Metabolomic data collected to investigate the relationship between the plastisphere and increased nitrogen inputs from urban wastewater in coastal zones. The dataset was authored by Ziqiu Lin and last updated in May 2026. It is a 7.4 GB collection of raw data files.

Use Cases

• Identify metabolic signatures of microbial communities on plastic debris based on the described metabolomic analysis.
• Model the impact of nitrogen pollution on plastisphere ecology based on the described wastewater input scenario.
• Compare metabolic profiles between polluted and reference coastal sites based on the described sample collection context.

Strengths

• Data files are 7.4 GB in size, indicating a substantial volume of raw metabolomic measurements.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
