This dataset presents shotgun metagenomic sequencing of sunflower rhizosphere microbiome in Bloemhof, South Africa. Data were collected to decipher the structure and function in the sunflower microbial community. Illumina HiSeq platform using next generation sequencing of the DNA was carried out. The metagenome comprised 8,991,566 sequences totaling 1,607,022,279 bp size and 66% GC content. The metagenome was deposited into the NCBI database and can be accessed with the SRA accession number SRR10418054. An online metagenome server (MG RAST) using the subsystem database revealed bacteria had the highest taxonomical representation with 98.47%, eukaryote at 1.23%, and archaea at 0.20%. The most abundant genera were the (17%), (8%), (7%), (6%), (5%), and (4%). MG-RAST assisted analysis also revealed functional annotation based on subsystem, carbohydrates sequence had 13.74%, clustering based subsystem 12.93%, amino acids and derivatives 10.30% coupled with other useful functional traits needed for plant growth and health.

The human microbiome consists of diverse microorganisms that inhabit various body sites. As these microbes are increasingly recognized as key determinants of health, there is significant interest in leveraging individual microbiome profiles for early disease detection, prevention, and drug efficacy prediction. However, the complexity of microbiome data, coupled with conflicting study outcomes, has hindered its integration into clinical practice.

Background: Amplicon sequencing of kingdom-specific tags such as 16S rRNA gene for bacteria and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for fungi are widely used for investigating microbial communities. So far most human studies have focused on bacteria while studies on host-associated fungi in health and disease have only recently started to accumulate. To enable cost-effective parallel analysis of bacterial and fungal communities in human and environmental samples, we developed a method where 16S rRNA gene and ITS1 amplicons were pooled together for a single Illumina MiSeq or HiSeq run and analysed after primer-based segregation.

Genes in microorganisms influence the biological processes in anaerobic digestion (AD). However, key genes involved in the four metabolic steps (hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis) remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the abundance and distribution of key functional genes in full-scale anaerobic digesters processing food waste (FWDs) and municipal wastewater (MWDs) through 16S rRNA gene and shotgun metagenomic analysis.

Background: The gut microbiota are an important interface between the host and the environment, mediating the host's interactions with nutritive and non-nutritive substances. Dietary contaminants like Bisphenol A (BPA) may disrupt the microbial community, leaving the host susceptible to additional exposures and pathogens. BPA has long been a controversial and well-studied contaminant, so its structural analogues like Bisphenol S (BPS) are replacing it in consumer products, but have not been well studied.
