Brinkmann et al., 2020, Nanotoxicology, Colony-forming unit counts

This dataset comprises colony-forming unit counts of microbiota isolated from zebrafish larvae that had been exposed to silver nanoparticles, silver ions, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and zinc ions in acute toxicity tests.Details of this experiment have been published in Nanotoxicology: Brinkmann BW, Koch BEV, Spaink HP, Peijnenburg WJGM, and Vijver MG, 2020. Colonizing microbiota protect zebrafish larvae against silver nanoparticle toxicity. Nanotoxicology, 14(6): 725-739. Doi: 10.1080/17435390.2020.1755469The four parameters of the dataset are:- Compound. The compound that the zebrafish larvae had been exposed to in the acute toxicity test, including: nAg, silver nanoparticles (0.25 mg Ag/L); Ag+, silver ions (0.025 mg Ag/L); nZnO, zinc oxide nanoparticles (2.5 mg ZnO/L); and Zn2+, zinc ions (2.5 mg Zn2+/L). - Date. The date at which microbiota were isolated.- DilutionFactor. The dilution factor resulting in the highest number of countable colonies below 200, that was used to derive the colony-forming unit count per larvae.- CFU_Larvae. The number of colony-forming units isolated per larvae. This dataset has been saved in a tab-delimited text file format.
