Tilapia Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Data from Probiotic Supplementation Study

A dataset from a laboratory study evaluating the probiotic potential of Cetobacterium sp. nov C33 in Nile tilapia fingerlings. It contains results from 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of gut microbiota and transcriptomic analysis of head kidney tissue. The data was authored by Mario Andrés Colorado Gómez and last updated on 2026-05-07.

Use Cases

• Analyzing shifts in gut microbial community structure based on probiotic supplementation.
• Studying immune system gene regulation in fish based on transcriptomic data from the head kidney.
• Investigating the relationship between anaerobic gut bacteria and host metabolic pathways.
• Evaluating probiotic candidates for aquaculture health management based on laboratory trial results.

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and reuse.
• The study design includes both microbial sequencing and host transcriptomic analysis, providing a multi-faceted view.

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 very small at 14.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
