6.6 KB of data from a study investigating viability loss in Metarhizium anisopliae blastospores dried to two water activity levels (a_w = 0.1 and 0.3). Samples were stored at 28 °C for 90 days and analyzed every 30 days using viability assays, flow cytometry, protein oxidation analysis, GC–MS, HPLC, and Raman spectroscopy. The dataset was authored by Natasha Sant Anna Iwanicki and last updated on 2026-05-07.
Use Cases
- Modeling fungal spore viability decay over time based on storage conditions and water activity levels.
- Analyzing the relationship between oxidative stress markers (like reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation) and cell death.
- Investigating correlations between metabolic dysfunction (e.g., trehalose depletion, glucose accumulation) and loss of membrane integrity.
- Studying the progression of irreversible protein carbonylation as a driver of cellular damage during storage.
Strengths
- Data covers a controlled 90-day storage experiment with measurements taken at 30-day intervals.
- Analysis integrates results from multiple techniques: viability assays, flow cytometry, protein oxidation analysis, GC–MS, HPLC, and Raman spectroscopy.
- Specific quantitative findings are reported, such as protein carbonylation reaching 11.02 ± 2.23 nmol/mg protein after 90 days.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small (6.6 KB), indicating limited scope.
