Raw data underlying the publication: Functional Divergence within Mulberry-Associated Pantoea ananatis: Insights from Comparative Genomics and Host-Contact Metabolomics

The dataset encompasses genomic, metabolomic, and phenotypic data from 18 Pantoea ananatis isolates derived from mulberry (Morus spp.), focusing on eco-evolutionary mechanisms underlying their pathogen-probiotic duality. Key findings include three genetic clades: low-virulence probiotics (Pa-I, 11 strains), high-virulence pathogens (Pa-II, 5 strains), and transitional (Pa-III, 2 strains). Representative strains Pa-6 (probiotic) and YSFJ (pathogen) highlight divergences in genome architecture (e.g., plasmids, pseudogenes), metabolomes (e.g., TCA/amino acid vs. phosphonate/sulfur pathways), pan-genome openness, multidrug resistance, and host interactions (e.g., mild colonization enhancing resilience vs. aggressive lysis accelerating dysbiosis). This supports predictive frameworks for biocontrol and resilient microbiome engineering in agriculture. Data types include raw sequencing reads, MS spectra, bioassay results, and figure sources, organized by category. Total size: approximately 10-15 GB.
