attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Growth of the diatom  \nThalassiosira wessiflogii (CCMP 1051) was obtained from the National Center\nfor Culture of Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA). The diatom was grown in\nartificial seawater (Berges et al. 2001) in nitrogen-limited 1000 ml semi-\ncontinuous cultures at a sequence of dilution rates. The macronutrient\nconcentrations in the artificial seawater recipe were modified from Berges et\nal. (2001) to affect nitrogen limitation; concentrations of nitrogen,\nphosphorus and silicon were 60 \\u00b5M (as NaNO3), 100 \\u00b5M (NaH2PO4), and\n100 \\u00b5M (Na2SiO3), respectively. Culture temperature was maintained at 20\n\\u00b1 0.1 \\u00b0C throughout the experiment. Photon flux density on the\nsurface of the culture bottles was 150 \\u00b5mol m-2 s-1. The cultures were\nstirred with 2.5 cm long stir bars using magnetic stirrers at 120 revolutions\nper minute. The cultures were grown at a sequence of dilution rates (0.3, 0.5,\n0.7, 0.9 and 0.3 day-1) affected by daily dilution at 10:00 am every day. To\ninduce a dilution rate of 0.3 day-1, 0.3 of the culture volume (300 ml) was\nremoved and replaced with 300 ml of fresh medium to maintain a constant total\nculture volume (1000 ml).\n \nMeasures of phytoplankton abundance and biomass  \n Counts of 400 cells from each replicate culture were made by light\nmicroscopy using a hemocytometer (Fuchs-Rosenthal ruling, Hauser Scientific)\n(Guillard and Sieracki 2005) from samples preserved in Lugol\\u2019s iodine\n(Parsons et al. 1984). Cell volume was determined using live cells (Menden-\nDeuer and Lessard 2000). The volume of 100 diatoms from each replicate culture\nwas determined by measuring cell length (pervalver length) and width (valver\nlength) at 400x magnification using a light microscope (Axioplan 2, Carl Zeiss\nMicroImaging). Cell volume was calculated based on the assumption that T.\nwessiflogii is a cylinder.\n \nChlorophyll a concentrations in the cultures was determined by fluorescence\n(Arar and Collins 1997). Chlorophyll a concentration 90% acetone extractions\nfrom biomass retained on GF/C (Whatman) were measured using a Turner Designs\n700 fluorometer, which was calibrated using chlorophyll a standards (Sigma)\n(Arar and Collins 1997). The extract was diluted with 90% acetone if the chl.\na concentration were too high.\n \nThe carbon and nitrogen content of particulate organic matter in the cultures\nwas determined by elemental analysis using a Carlo Erba NA1500 Elemental\nAnalyzer. Standards were acetanilide, methionine, graphite (USGS 24, USGS 40,\nand USGS 41) (Verardo et al. 1990).\\u00a0\n \nBacteria abundance  \n Bacteria (400 cells) were counted using an epifluorescence microscope\n(Axioplan 2, Carl Zeiss MicroImaging) after staining with\n4'6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) (Porter and Feig 1980) at\na final concentration of 0.25 \\u00b5g ml-1.\n \nCell permeability  \n Uptake and staining with the membrane-impermeable SYTOX Green (Invitrogen)\nwas used to determine what proportion of the diatom population had permeable\ncell membranes (Veldhuis et al. 2001, Franklin et al. 2012). Four hundred\ncells were examined using an epifluorescence microscope and the number of\ncells that stained with SYTOX Green was enumerated.\n \nTotal carbohydrate  \n Total carbohydrate concentrations were determined in unfiltered liquid\nsamples from the cultures using the phenol-sulfuric acid (PSA) method (Dubois\net al. 1956) calibrated with d-glucose. The concentration of total\ncarbohydrate was expressed as glucose equivalents.\n \nTEP staining and analysis  \n Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) were sampled according to Alldredge\net al. (1993) and TEP abundance was enumerated by image analysis (Logan et al.\n1994, Engel 2009). Ten photomicrographs were taken of each slide and the area\nof 100 TEP particles from each replicate culture was determined after manually\ndrawing around each particle using Axio Vision 4.8 (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging )\nimage analysis software.\\u00a0\n \nParticle size distribution and aggregation  \n The particle size distribution (PSD) and volume concentration of particles\nin the T. weissiflogii cultures was measured using laser scattering following\nthe method of Rzadkowolski and Thornton (2012) using a Laser In Situ\nScattering and Transmissometry instrument (LISST-100X, Type C; Sequoia\nScientific). Sample (150 ml) from each replicate culture was placed into a\nchamber attached to the LISST and the PSD was measured 100 times at a rate of\n1 Hz. The PSD of the culture was blank corrected by subtracting the PSD of 0.2\n\\u00b5m filtered artificial seawater.\n \nReferences cited  \n Alldredge, A. L., Passow, U. & Logan B. E. 1993.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_4_dataset_instrument_nid String 506240
attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_4_description String A laboratory instrument that simultaneously determines total nitrogen and total carbon from a wide range of organic and inorganic sediment samples. The sample is completely and instantaneously oxidised by flash combustion, which converts all organic and inorganic substances into combustion products. The resulting combustion gases pass through a reduction furnace and are swept into the chromatographic column by the carrier gas which is helium. The gases are separated in the column and detected by the thermal conductivity detector which gives an output signal proportional to the concentration of the individual components of the mixture. The instrument was originally manufactured by Carlo-Erba, which has since been replaced by Thermo Scientific (part of Thermo Fisher Scientific). This model is no longer in production.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Diatom EPS Production
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Diatom EPS Production
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Description from NSF Propsoal:\nIt is necessary to determine the fate of organic matter in the ocean to understand marine food webs, biogeochemical cycles, and climate change. Diatoms fix approximately a quarter of the net global primary production each year, and a significant proportion of this production is excreted as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). EPS have a profound impact on pelagic ecosystems by affecting the formation of aggregates. Diatoms and other particulate organic carbon (POC) sink rapidly as aggregates, affecting the biological carbon pump, which plays a pivotal role in the sequestration of carbon in the ocean. The proposed research will test the central hypothesis: Temperature increase affects diatom release of EPS, which act as a glue, increasing aggregation. Previous work by the investigator showed that increased temperatures affected the aggregation of Skeletonema costatum. Four specific hypotheses will be tested:\nH1: Diatoms produce more EPS with increasing temperature.\nH2: Diatoms produce more transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) with increasing temperature.\nH3: The quantity or composition of cell-surface carbohydrates in diatoms changes with temperature.\nH4: Aggregation of diatom cultures and natural plankton increases with temperature.\nLaboratory experiments (years 1 - 2) will be conducted with three model diatom species grown at controlled growth rates and defined limitation (nitrogen or light) in continuous culture. Culture temperature will be stepped up or down in small increments to determine the effect of the temperature change on EPS production, aggregation, and partitioning of carbon in intra- and extracellular pools. Similar experiments in year 3 will be carried out using natural plankton populations from a coastal site where diatoms contribute a significant proportion to the biomass.\nThe proposed research will increase our understanding of the ecology and physiology of one of the dominant groups of primary producers on Earth. EPS are a central aspect of diatom biology, though the physiology, function and broader ecosystem impacts of EPS production remain unknown. This research will determine how temperature, light limitation, and nutrient limitation affect the partitioning of production between dissolved, gel, and particulate phases in the ocean. Measurements of plankton stickiness (alpha) under different conditions will be important to model aggregation processes in the ocean as alpha is an important (and variable) term in coagulation models. Determining how carbon is cycled between the ocean, atmosphere and lithosphere is key to understanding climate change on both geological and human time scales. This is a major societal issue as atmospheric CO2 concentrations are steadily increasing, correlating with a 0.6 C rise in global average temperature during the last century. This research will address potential feedbacks between warming of the surface ocean, diatom ecophysiology and the biological carbon pump.\nRelated Publications:\nRzadkowolski, Charles E. and Thornton, Daniel C.
