Quantitative PCR cell count estimates from samples of DNA extracted from seagrass wasting disease parasite, Labyrinthula zosterae from wasting disease mesocosm experiments at Bodega Marine Laboratory in July-Sept of 2015

Abstract

This data set includes quantitative PCR cell count estimates from samples of DNA extracted from seagrass wasting disease parasite, Labyrinthula zosterae, cultures of known cell concentrations run with and without DNA extracted from seagrass, Zostera marina, tissue samples to test for quantitative PCR signal inhibition. Seagrass tissue samples were collected as part of a mesocosm study at the Bodega Marine Laboratory examining the independent and interactive effects of warming, host genotypic identity, and host genotypic diversity on the prevalence and intensity of infections of seagrass by the wasting disease parasite L. zosterae.

These data were plotted in Schenck et al (2022) as Figure S6.
