Dataset "Impact of Carbon Sources in Airport De-icing Compounds on the Growth of Sphaerotilus natans" - Exton, Benjamin; Grabowski, Robert C.; Hassard, Francis; Medina, Angel (Cranfield University, 2024)
Airport de-icer contaminated surface runoff discharges have been implicated in the growth of undesirable river biofilms (URBs, formerly 'sewage fungus'), in this research we sought to establish a definitive link between de-icer contaminated discharges and the growth of the characteristic URB taxon, S. natans. The dataset uploaded here is the raw optical density data from the high-throughput optical density instrument (BioScreen C MBR) used to monitor microbial growth.
