Residential kitchen surface microbiome Raw sequence reads
This BioProject contains raw long-read amplicon sequencing data generated from surface swabs collected in residential kitchen environments. Samples were obtained from three kitchen surface types (countertops, faucet spouts, and drain holes) across multiple residences in North Carolina, USA. Bacterial and fungal communities were characterized using long-read 16S rRNA gene and ITS amplicon sequencing. The dataset includes raw sequence reads and associated metadata describing surface type and sampling location. These data support analyses of microbial community composition and variability across residential kitchen surfaces.
