Data from: Persistence of Sewage-Associated Genes in Conventional and Advanced Treated Recycled Water: Implications for Microbial Source Tracking in Surface Waters

This dataset contains measurements of concentrations of microbial source tracking markers (EC23S857, HF183, H8 marker, and CPQ_056) and culturable Escherichia coli including the proportion that carry the sewage-associated H8 gene (cH8). Sewage and recycled water were sampled on three separate events from three advanced and three conventional wastewater treatment facilities in central Florida to explore differences in the persistence of microbial variables. We determined which treatment (advanced or conventional) was more effective in the reduction of microorganisms and their DNA in both bacteria and the viral marker crAssphage CPQ_056.

本数据集收录了微生物溯源标记（EC23S857、HF183、H8标记和CPQ_056）的浓度测量值，以及可培养的大肠杆菌的浓度，包括携带与污水相关的H8基因的比例（cH8）。为探究微生物变量持久性的差异，对佛罗里达州中部的三个高级和三个传统污水处理设施在三次独立事件中采集了污水和再生水样本。本研究确定了哪种处理方式（高级或传统）在降低细菌及其DNA以及病毒标记crAssphage CPQ_056中的微生物方面更为有效。
