Diel phytoplankton, qPCR, and cyanotoxin data for Kabetogama Lake at Voyageurs National Park, 2024
This data release provides phytoplankton environmental DNA (eDNA), cyanotoxin biosynthesis gene abundance, phytoplankton microscopy, and cyanotoxin data collected from Ellsworth Rock Gardens in Kabetogama Lake at Voyageurs National Park (USGS site ID: USGS-482947092584401). These samples were collected three times, about every 12 hours, between September 17 and September 18, 2024. Phytoplankton composition was determined through eDNA sequencing techniques from Jonah Ventures and through microscopy from BSA Environmental Services. Cyanotoxin biosynthesis genes for microcystin (mcyE gene), anatoxin (anaC gene), saxitoxin (sxtA gene), and cylindrospermopsin (cyn gene) were quantified by Jonah Ventures, and cyanotoxin suites were run by GreenWater laboratories on raw and filtered water samples.
