Tilapia Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Data from Probiotic Supplementation Study

A 117.6 KB dataset from a 2026 figshare upload by Mario Andrés Colorado Gómez. It contains results from a laboratory study evaluating the probiotic potential of the anaerobic bacterium Cetobacterium sp. nov C33 in Nile tilapia fingerlings. The data likely includes gut microbiota profiles from 16S rRNA sequencing and transcriptomic analysis of head kidney immune system modulation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing shifts in gut microbial community structure based on probiotic dietary supplementation mentioned in the description
• Investigating gene expression patterns related to immune system and metabolic pathways from head kidney transcriptomic data
• Evaluating the relationship between specific bacterial taxa and host health indicators in a controlled aquaculture setting

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution
• Focus on a globally significant aquaculture species (Nile tilapia) and a relevant health intervention (probiotics)
• Integrates two common omics approaches (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and transcriptomics) as described

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The 117.6 KB file size indicates a very limited scope, likely containing summary or processed results rather than raw sequencing reads
