Deep-Sea Microbial Composition and Assembly Under Different Culture Strategies

A dataset from figshare details variations in microbial composition and assembly mechanisms from Yap Trench sediments at depths of 4,159–6,682 meters. It was created by Libo Yu and last updated on March 18, 2026. The data compares microbial diversity and co-occurrence patterns under high-pressure versus atmospheric cultivation conditions.

Use Cases

• Compare microbial diversity captured under high-pressure versus atmospheric cultivation based on the described experimental conditions.
• Analyze co-occurrence patterns and network modularity in cultured microbial communities based on the description of positive interactions.
• Investigate deterministic versus stochastic assembly processes in microbial communities under different cultivation pressures.
• Study the enrichment of specific microbial groups like Proteobacteria under serial subculturing conditions.

Strengths

• Data is derived from deep-sea sediment samples collected at significant depths (4,159–6,682 m).
• Description provides specific quantitative findings, such as 44–55% of microbial diversity captured under high-pressure conditions.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description is detailed but the actual data file's structure and variables are not specified.
