Prey identity affects fitness of a generalist consumer in a brown food web

<p>These are datasets for the manuscript entitled &quot;Prey identity affects fitness of a generalist consumer in a brown food web&quot;. Each data file contains counts of protists per 100uL of water when grown with individual strains (protist_counts_strains.csv) and mixtures of strains (protist_counts_mixed_strains.csv).&nbsp;</p> <p>Columns descriptions, protist_counts_strains.csv:</p> <p>1: Name - the name of the bacterial strain, combined with the protist genotype that it was grown with<br> 2: Bacterial_strain - the unique identifier for each bacterial strain<br> 3: strain_genus - the bacterial genus determined by 16S rRNA sequencing and NCBI BLAST<br> 4: Protist_genotype - the genotype of protist that the bacteria were grown with<br> 5: count_100uL - the number of&nbsp;protists that were counted per 100uL using a Palmer cell.&nbsp;<br> 6: Avg_area - the average cell area as measured using ImageJ software<br> 7: Biomass - the count_100uL x Avg_area to get some metric for biomass</p> <p>Columns descriptions, protist_counts_mixed_strains.csv:</p> <p>1: Mixture_name - the name of the bacterial mixture<br> 2: Protist_genotype - the genotype of protist that the bacteria were grown with<br> 3: count_per100uL - the number of&nbsp;protists that were counted per 100uL using a Palmer cell.&nbsp;<br> 4: mixture_ID - a descriptor name for each bacterial mixture based on how well the strains in the mixture performed in isolation<br> 5: description - a list of the bacterial strains added to the mixture</p>
