Microcystin, chlorophyll, and cell-count data for assessing the effect of salinity tolerance on cyanobacteria associated with a harmful algal bloom in Lake Okeechobee, Florida, July 9 to 17, 2017
November 20, 2018
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides microcystin, chlorophyll, and cell-count data for assessing the effect of salinity tolerance on cyanobacteria associated with a harmful algal bloom in Lake Okeechobee, Florida. All data are reported as raw measured values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. Water and algal bloom material were collected from Lake Okeechobee, Florida on July 7, 2017. This dataset includes measurements of subsamples taken in the laboratory, collected July 9 to July 17, 2017, at nine different salinity concentrations.

In an effort to simulate the survival of cyanobacteria as they are transported from Lake Okeechobee to the estuarine habitats that receive waters from the lake, a bioassay encompassing a range of salinities was performed. An overall decline in cyanobacteria health in salinity treatments greater than 18 practical salinity units (psu) was indicated by loss of cell membrane integrity based...
