Nile Tilapia Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Data from Probiotic Study

Mario Andrés Colorado Gómez published this dataset on 2026-05-07. 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 results from the head kidney.

Use Cases

• Analyzing probiotic-induced changes in gut microbial community structure based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data
• Studying immune system gene regulation in fish based on head kidney transcriptomic analysis mentioned in the description
• Modeling relationships between dietary supplements, metabolism, and disease resistance in aquaculture species
• Comparing microbial and transcriptomic responses to different probiotic candidates in controlled laboratory conditions

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed-sounding experimental study on a defined probiotic bacterium
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-05-07)

Limitations

• Dataset size is extremely small (417.0 B), indicating very limited scope or content
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
