S5 File: Nile Tilapia Gut Microbiota and Immune Response to Probiotic Supplementation

Laboratory research on Nile tilapia fingerlings evaluates the probiotic potential of the anaerobic bacterium Cetobacterium sp. nov C33. The dataset, authored by Mario Andrés Colorado Gómez and last updated in May 2026, likely contains results from 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of gut microbiota and transcriptomic analysis of head kidney tissue. It offers insights into how dietary supplementation with this bacterium alters microbial community structure and regulates immune and metabolic pathways.

Use Cases

• Analyzing shifts in gut microbial community structure based on 16S rRNA sequencing data mentioned in the description
• Studying immune system gene expression modulation in fish based on head kidney transcriptomic analysis
• Evaluating the impact of a specific anaerobic bacterial strain (Cetobacterium sp. nov C33) on host physiology
• Modeling relationships between probiotic supplementation, microbiota composition, and metabolic pathways

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory experiments on Nile tilapia fingerlings, as stated in the description
• Includes results from two molecular analysis techniques: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and transcriptomics
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse
• File size is 2.2 MB, indicating a manageable download and exploration size

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 (2.2 MB), which may limit the scope or granularity of the contained data
