16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Profiling of Baby and Adult Captive Elephants in Thailand

Here, we present a 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data set and profiles demonstrating the bacterial diversity of baby and adult elephants from four different geographical locations in Thailand. The dominant phyla among baby and adult elephants were Bacteroidetes , Firmicutes , Proteobacteria , Kiritimatiellaeota , Euryarchaeota , and Tenericutes .
