construction of minimal coastal microbial mats. Minimal Mat 1

Minimal coastal microbial mats were created with diluted coastal mat samples obtained from the Dutch barrier island of Schiermonnikoog. The MM's were inoculated in fresh sterilized sand in glass containers contained in a MicroBox. The MicroBox has a transparent lid (allowing photosynthetic growth) and a gas exchange filter. The MM's are propagated under laboratory conditions at a 16h light / 8h dark regime and at a constant 23 C. Serial dilutions used for this data-set are 0, 3 and 5-fold.

本数据集采用采自荷兰屏障岛斯希蒙尼克奥赫（Schiermonnikoog）的稀释海岸微生物垫样本，构建得到最小化海岸微生物垫。将该最小化海岸微生物垫接种至置于MicroBox内的玻璃容器中的无菌新鲜砂基质中。该MicroBox配备透明盖（可支持光合生长）与气体交换滤膜。该最小化海岸微生物垫在实验室条件下培养，光照周期为16小时光照/8小时黑暗，培养温度恒定为23℃。本数据集所使用的系列稀释梯度为0倍、3倍及5倍稀释。
