***General Introduction***
This dataset contains data collected during batch experiments at Wageningen University, as part of Jinsong Wang's PhD Thesis project (2018-2023):
It is being made public both to act as supplementary data for publications and the PhD thesis of Jinsong Wang and in order for other researchers to use this data in their own research.
All data files were named with a description of the type of measurements. 

***Purpose of the test campaign***
The purpose of these experiments was to investigate the capacity of nitrifying and methanotrophic bacteria to micropollutant co-metabolism in rapid sand filters.

***Equipment***
Details of the measurement equipments and other methodology are mentioned in the published article mentioned above.

***Description of the data in this data set***
This set contains the following files:
- The concentrations of selected organic micropollutants (OMPs) and their removal with incubation time (the data link to Figures 1 and 3); 
- The correlation between the cumulative consumption of OMPs and primary substrates (e.g., ammonia and methane) (the data link to Figures 2 and 4);
- The raw data on the cumulative consumption of ammonia and methane and the cumulative production of NO2, NO3 and CO2 (The data link to Figures S2 and S3);
- The data on the relationship between OMP and primary substrate removal in field rapid sand filters (the data link to table S4);
- The qPCR and 16S sequencing data (link to Figures 5, 6 and 7) (The completed dataset for 16S rRNA sequencing was stored in BioProject PRJEB48767 repository).
