Data underlying the article: Physiological and stoichiometric characterization of ethanol-based chain elongation in the absence of short-chain carboxylic acids

In this sub-experiment, the taxonomic composition of the chain-elongating microbial community was assessed at the beginning and end of the ethanol-only experiment. DNA was extracted from biomass pellets and the 16S rRNA was sequenced using amplicon sequencing. This dataset contains the amplicon sequences at the two different time points in FASTA format. Other measurement data is available in the supplementary materials of the article at: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-43682-x
