Data and regression models describing biofilms and water quality in streams surrounding Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (2009-2014)

Heterotrophic biofilm growths were monitored in sites upstream and downstream of Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; samples were collected primarily during and surrounding the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 deicing seasons, with additional sample collection occurring in 2014. Biofilms were assessed using both field surveys and modern genetic approaches, and responses to environmental factors were characterized. This data release provides water quality and biofilm data originally used in the journal article: Advanced biofilm analysis in streams receiving organic deicer runoff, by Michelle A. Nott, Heather E. Driscoll, Minoru Takeda, Mahesh Vangala, Steven R. Corsi, and Scott W. Tighe; PLOS ONE, 2019.

本研究对美国威斯康星州密尔沃基市密尔沃基米切尔国际机场上下游点位的异养生物膜（heterotrophic biofilm）生长情况进行了监测。样本主要采集于2009-2010年及2010-2011年的除冰季及其前后时段，另于2014年补充开展了样本采集工作。研究团队通过野外调查与现代分子遗传分析方法对生物膜进行评估，并解析了其对环境因子的响应。本次数据集发布提供了最初用于以下学术论文的水质与生物膜数据：《接收有机除冰剂径流的溪流高级生物膜分析》，作者为Michelle A. Nott、Heather E. Driscoll、Minoru Takeda、Mahesh Vangala、Steven R. Corsi及Scott W. Tighe，发表于《公共科学图书馆·综合》（PLOS ONE）2019年。
