Shotgun metagenomics sequencing data of root microbial community of Huanglongbing-infected Citrus nobilisMendeley Data

Abstract

Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most serious citrus disease in Vietnam. For the first time, this paper reported root microbial data of HLB-infected Citrus nobilis grown in Dak Lak Province, Vietnam, for further work toward controlling this disease. Roots of HLB-infected C. nobilis were collected, and the genomic DNA was isolated. The Illumina platform was used to sequence the shotgun metagenomic library, and bioinformatic tools were used to analyze sequenced data. We found that 4 kingdoms, 27 phyla, 57 classes, 124 orders, 246 families, 722 genera, and 1758 species of the root microbiome were identified from the sample. Actinomycetota was the predominant phylum (47.37 %), and biosynthesis was the primary function (57.38 %) of the microbiome.
