New dataset on bacterial and fungal communities of table olives.

Posted on by

A new dataset with a collection of published metataxonomic studies on bacterial communities of table olives has just been released. You can find it here:

https://github.com/ep142/Metaolive

You can use it with your own data and obtain quantitative comparisons of microbial communities of table olives and their environments in published studies. All new data produced in our METAolive project will end up here. The dataset is extracted from FoodMicrobionet v5.

If you want to see a use case checkout our poster presented at the Food Systems Microbiomes meeting, held in Turin from 14/5 to 17/5.

This project is co-funded by Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca PRIN 2022, proposal 2022NN28ZZ, and received funding from the European Union Next-GenerationEU – PIANO NAZIONALE DI RIPRESA E RESILIENZA (PNRR).
