Microbial Ecology of the Floridan Aquifer near Okeechobee, FL: Uptake and Inactivation Data

This metadata record describes the microbial uptake of nutrients by native planktonic and biofilm-associated bacteria and the inactivation of E. coli, MS2 bacteriophage, polio virus and Cryptosporidium parvum in the Upper Floridan Aquifer (approximately 1,000 feet below land surface) in the Okeechobee, Florida area. Groundwater samples were collected or accessed via the use of a mesocosm between 2018 and 2020 from a South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) monitoring well installed at the Kissimmee River Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) facility, which is located at the discharge point of the Kissimmee River into Lake Okeechobee.

本元数据记录详述了佛罗里达州奥基乔比地区地表以下约1000英尺的佛罗里达上层含水层（Upper Floridan Aquifer）中，本土浮游细菌与生物膜附着细菌对营养物质的微生物摄取过程，以及大肠杆菌（E. coli）、MS2噬菌体（MS2 bacteriophage）、脊髓灰质炎病毒与微小隐孢子虫（Cryptosporidium parvum）的灭活情况。2018年至2020年间，研究人员通过中宇宙模拟系统（mesocosm）采集或获取地下水样本，样本取自南佛罗里达水管理区（South Florida Water Management District，简称SFWMD）布设的监测井，该监测井安装于基西米河含水层储存与回采（Aquifer Storage and Recovery，简称ASR）设施内，该设施坐落于基西米河注入奥基乔比湖的排放点处。
