log in [house varied] - Microsphere counts from Oikopleura dioica houses following feeding incubations with three microsphere sizes (for each functionalized microsphere) available in environmentally relevant concentrations (Collaborative Proposal: Are all cell surfaces the same? The effects of particle surface property on predator-prey interactions in the microbial loop) Cell surface properties can strongly mediate microbial interactions with predators in soil and host-pathogen systems. Yet, the role of microbial surface properties in avoiding or enhancing predation in the ocean remains a research frontier. Appendicularians are globally abundant marine suspension feeders that capture marine microorganisms in a complex mucous filtration system. We used artificial microspheres to test whether the surface properties of prey particles influenced selection by the appendicularian, O. dioica.  Across microsphere sizes (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 µm) and concentrations (~103-106 particles ml-1), which were varied to represent realistic microbial communities, carboxylate- and amine-modified particles were handled differently by the appendicularians. The carboxylate-modified particles were enriched in the gut while the amine-modified particles were enriched in the mucous filters, leading to different particle fates.\n\nThis dataset includes microsphere counts from appendicularian houses for incubations with microsphere concentrations varied with size.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nHouse_ID (Unitless)\nReplicate (Number)\nC_0_5_um_ml (Count per ml)\nC_1_um_ml (Count per ml)\nC_3_um_ml (Count per ml)\nA_0_5_um_ml (Count per ml)\nA_1_um_ml (Count per ml)\nA_3_um_ml (Count per ml)\n BCO-DMO bcodmo_dataset_956486_v1
