This dataset includes data collected during an experiment designed to test the growth response of three marine microalgae strains to the growth medium derived from a single algae strain. Bacteria communities in the algae cultures were also sequenced and identified. Metadata includes descriptions of variables in each data table.
More information about the experiments and data collection methods are available in the publication accompanying this dataset:
