Data From: Fecal indicator bacteria and sewage-associated marker genes are associated with nitrate and environmental properties parameters in Florida freshwater systems

This dataset contains measurements of fecal indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and enterococci), microbial source tracking markers (HF183 and GFD), nutrients, and environmental parameters from two freshwater Florida streams. Water and sediment was collected over a 26-month period. Fecal indicator bacteria were cultured from water and sediment, microbial source tracking markers were assessed in water by qPCR, and nutrients were measured in water and sediment.
