The impact of fluoxetine on the gut microbiome of Pimephales promelas
Year: 2021
Type: dataset
Abstract: This data is supplementary information regarding the effects of fluoxetine on the gut microbiome of Fathead Minnows when aqueously exposed to the compound. After a 28-day exposure to three different concentrations of fluoxetine; 0.01, 10 and 100 µg/L, or control (0 µg/L), fish were euthanized, and gut contents was collected. Using DNA extraction methods, PCR amplification and sequencing, bioinformatics was then performed to interpret the metagenomic data. All tests and data were collected between September 2019 and January 2021 at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. This data was generated to better understand how pharmaceuticals found downstream of wastewater treatment plants may impact the gut microbiome of aquatic organisms.
