Endophytic bacterial dataset of the Cavendish banana grown in Dak Lak Province of Vietnam using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding
Abstract
The Cavendish banana (Musa cavendishii L.) is one of the main perennial crops grown in Dak Lak Province of Vietnam. However, data on the endophytic bacterial community of this plant are unknown. In this work, a representative sample, mixing from 5 root samples collected from five banana gardens (the Dwarf Cavendish cultivar) in Dak Lak, was used for analyzing the endophytic microbiome using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Results showed that 5 phyla, 7 classes, 20 orders, 31 families, and 47 genera of endophytic bacteria were identified from the sample. Bacteria belonging to phylum Proteobacteria were the most predominant, with 72.64%, and functions involved in biosynthesis were the most abundant, with 75.35%, of the endophytic bacterial community. Data help to understand the endophytic bacterial community of the Cavendish banana cultivated in Dak Lak, Vietnam. These data can be useful for further experiments concerning relationships between the growth of the Cavendish banana and endophytic bacteria. This is the first report on the endophytic bacteria of the Cavendish banana cultivated in Dak Lak, Vietnam.
