Data for: Searching for bacteria in sticky situations: methods for investigating bacterial survival at solid-air interfaces involving Wyoming MX-80 bentonite

Data used to produce figures 2 and 3 in Pashang and Laursen

Data for figure 2 include the number of viable Arthrobacter sp. cells successfully removed from a) dried bentonite sheet using a vortex; b) a dried bentonite sheet using sonication; c) powdered bentonite using vortex; and d) powdered bentonite using sonication.

Data for figure 3 include the number of viable (culturable) Arthrobacter sp. cells removed from a) dried bentonite sheets and dry, powdered bentonite using vortex, sonication, vortex followed by sonication, and sonication followed by vortex; and b) from dried bentonite sheets and dry, powdered bentonite under different pH and temperature conditions. Cells were removed from bentonite by sonication for 20 min.

用于生成图2和图3的数据，其中图2的数据包括以下内容：a) 使用涡旋从干燥的膨润土薄片成功去除的成活的阿氏棒杆菌属细胞数量；b) 使用超声波处理从干燥的膨润土薄片去除的成活的阿氏棒杆菌属细胞数量；c) 使用涡旋从膨润土粉末中去除的成活的阿氏棒杆菌属细胞数量；d) 使用超声波处理从膨润土粉末中去除的成活的阿氏棒杆菌属细胞数量。图3的数据包括以下内容：a) 从干燥的膨润土薄片和干燥的膨润土粉末中，通过涡旋、超声波处理、涡旋后超声波处理以及超声波处理后涡旋去除的成活（可培养）的阿氏棒杆菌属细胞数量；b) 在不同pH值和温度条件下，从干燥的膨润土薄片和干燥的膨润土粉末中去除的成活细胞。细胞通过超声波处理20分钟从膨润土中去除。
