Intestinal microbiota of GIFT (Oreochromis niloticus) fed diets with graded C:N ratios (7.34-14.47)
This BioProject contains raw 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data from the intestinal microbiota of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT; Oreochromis niloticus) fed experimental diets with graded protein and carbohydrate levels, resulting in different dietary carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratios. The study aimed to determine how dietary macronutrient balance and C:N ratio are associated with intestinal microbial community composition and intestinal health. Intestinal samples were collected from fish in the dietary treatment groups, and the deposited data comprise the raw sequence reads used for microbiota analysis in the associated study.
