Abstract
Pre-filtered reef seawater microbial communities collected from Lameshur Bay, U.S. Virgin Islands were incubated separately in the presence of the individual metabolites riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and caffeine for 24 hours and samples were collected to monitor changes in microbial community composition using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and microbial abundances using flow cytometry. Targeted metabolomic data from these incubations is available on the MetaboLights database under accession number MTBLS3286. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/865159
