Metagenomic data of bacterial communities associated with Acropora species from Phu Quoc Islands, Vietnam
Résumé
Acropora is one of the most common coral genera found in Phu Quoc Islands, Vietnam. However, the presence of ma- rine snails, such as the coralllivorous gastropod Drupella ru- gosa, was a potential threat to the survival of many sclerac- tinian species, leading to changes in the health status and bacterial diversity of coral reefs in Phu Quoc Islands. Here, we describe the composition of bacterial communities asso- ciated with two species of Acropora ( Acropora formosa and Acropora millepora ) using the Illumina sequencing technol- ogy. This dataset includes 5 coral samples of each status (grazed or healthy), which were collected in Phu Quoc Is- lands (9 °55 20.6 N 104 °01 16.4 E) in May 2020. A total of 19 phyla, 34 classes, 98 orders, 216 families and 364 bacterial genera were detected from 10 coral samples. Overall, Pro- teobacteria and Firmicutes were the two most common bac- terial phyla in all samples. Significant differences in the rela- tive abundances of the genera Fusibacter, Halarcobacter, Mala- ciobacter, and Thalassotalea between grazed and healthy sta- tus were observed. However, there was no differences in al- pha diversity indices between the two status. Furthermore, the dataset analysis also indicated that Vibrio and Fusibac- ter were core genera in the grazed samples, whereas Pseu- domonas was the core genus in the healthy samples.
