Brief description
This data collection consists of water quality measurements, nutrient data and measured copper concentrations associated with an experiment exploring the effects of copper on seawater microbial communities to establish guideline values for copper toxicity to seawater microbiomes. Seawater for the experiment was collected from the AIMS jetty (19°16'38.4"S 147°03'32.1"E) in December 2020 and subsequently used in a 48-h exposure experiment. Water quality measurements (dissolved oxygen, pH and salinity) and water samples for nutrients (dissolved organic / inorganic carbon and nitrogen) were taken at 0-h and 48-h, following standard AIMS procedures. Representative water samples from the nominal experimental treatments (0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 and 1000 µg L-1) were sent to Townsville Laboratory Services for dissolved copper quantification. Data was entered into excel.For full methodological and analytical details please refer to the full research publication, Thomas et al. (in press) its supplementary materials and the associated GitHub repository (GitHub - MarieCThomas/Copper.microbiome: Establishing guideline values for copper toxicity to marine microbiomes). Additionally, raw sequencing data can be found in the NCBI Sequence Read Archives under BioProject number PRJNA983933.
