Dataset of shotgun metagenomic evaluation of lettuce (Lactuta sativa L.) rhizosphere microbiome.

ABSTRACT: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an important vegetable grown and consumed across the world, including South Africa and its rhizosphere constitutes a dynamic community of root associated microbes. Dataset of the microbial community profile of the lettuce rhizospheric soils obtained from Talton, Gauteng Province of South Africa was subjected to metagenomic evaluation using the shotgun approach. The whole DNA isolated from the community was sequenced using NovaSeq 6000 system (Illumina). The raw data obtained consists of 129,063,513.33 sequences with an average length of 200 base pairs and 60.6% Guanine + Cytosine content. The metagenome data has been deposited to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information SRA under the bioproject number PRJNA763048. The downstream analysis along
