Colonisation rates of E. coli on plastic and banana leaf under simulated environmental conditions
This dataset contains information relating to the rate of colonisation of E. coli O157 on plastic and banana leaf, under simulated environmental conditions. The data encompass bacterial strain identity, material type, timepoints (days), temperature (°C), and bacterial concentration (CFU/ml). Data were sampled over defined periods using culture-based approaches. This work was supported by the UKRI Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as part of the GCRF SPACES project [grant number NE/V005847/1] and the Plastic Vectors project, “Microbial hitch-hikers of marine plastics: the survival, persistence & ecology of microbial communities in the ‘Plastisphere’” [grant number NE/S005196/1].

Data were generated through laboratory experiments investigating the persistence, and survival of a clinically relevant strain of E. coli. Bacteria were cultured on materials (Banana Leaf and HDPE) and analysed for persistence over time. Materials (Banana Leaf and HDPE) were prepared and inoculated under controlled laboratory conditions. E. coli strains were inoculated onto materials in nutrient-rich and surface water environments. Sampling was taken at defined time points (7, 14, 21, 28 days). The experiments utilised standard laboratory equipment such as 96-well plates and incubators. Instrumentation used for bacterial enumeration, including the plate reader, was calibrated according to standard laboratory protocols. The data underwent rigorous quality control through replication (biological triplicates), statistical analysis (ANOVA), and controlled experimental conditions (e.g., temperature and material consistency). Statistical methods including ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc tests were applied to assess treatment effects and survival outcomes.
