The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL access_formats String .htmlTable,.csv,.json,.mat,.nc,.tsv,.esriCsv,.geoJson
attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Sample processing and analyses are detailed in the publications listed below.
Briefly, 100ml of seawater was collected onto 25mm dia polycarbonate filters
(0.22um pore size), rinsed with Tris-buffered saline, flash frozen in liquid
N2, and stored at -80C until extraction. DNA was extracted using a combination
of 5min of bead beating and 15min heat lysis at 95C. Extracted DNA was used as
template of quantitative PCR reactions using primers specifically designed to
target the narB gene from the HLII and LLI clades of Prochlorococcus. Standard
curves used for quantitation of field data were derived from DNA extracted
from defined cell numbers of cultured representatives of each clade.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Extracted from the NSF award abstract:
First discovered in 1988, Prochlorococcus is now recognized as the most abundant photosynthetic cell in the oceans and is responsible for a significant fraction of global primary productivity. Arguably one of the best studied marine microorganisms to date, Prochlorococcus is well-developed as a model system for advancing our understanding of microbial ecology. It is comprised of a collection of genetically and physiologically distinct populations that co-exist and are differentially distributed along quantifiable gradients of light, temperature, and inorganic nutrients. Early physiological studies using cultured isolates indicated that this group of cyanobacteria was unable to assimilate nitrate, typically the most abundant inorganic nitrogen source in the open ocean. This observation was supported by the first 12 genome sequences of Prochlorococcus which all lacked the genes necessary for nitrate assimilation. The lack of these genes in Prochlorococcus was puzzling given that closely related, and co-occurring, Synechococcus cells have them, and that nitrogen availability can be a significant limiting factor for primary production in marine ecosystems. Our understanding changed in 2009 with the discovery of nitrate assimilation genes in wild Prochlorococcus genomes and the isolation of an axenic strain capable of growth on nitrate (unpublished data). This discovery has lead to the overarching questions that are the subject of this project:
- What subset of the Prochlorococcus meta-population in the wild contains nitrate assimilation genes and how do the dynamics of this sub-population vary in time and space?
- What features of the environment select for cells with this functional trait? 
- Is the phylogeny of Prochlorococcus nitrate assimilation genes better correlated with the local environment or the overall 16S-23S ITS phylogeny of Prochlorococcus?
- Do the genomes of cells that contain nitrate assimilation genes share specific features? What do they tell us about what other environmental variables influence the fitness of nitrate-assimilating cells?
- What are the physiological tradeoffs underlying the loss or gain of assimilation genes in particular strains?
These questions will be addressed using an integrative cross-scale approach to characterize nitrate assimilation by Prochlorococcus at the population, cellular, and genomic levels. Specifically, the distribution and abundance of nitrate assimilating Prochlorococcus will be measured at two contrasting open ocean time-series stations (HOT and BATS), and along a longitudinal gradient in the Atlantic (AMT). The PI will examine the regulation of nitrate assimilation, the kinetics of growth on nitrate, and the ability of Prochlorococcus to compete with Synechococcus under nitrogen limiting conditions. Further, they will use a culture independent single cell genomics approach to assess the phylogenetic diversity of nitrate assimilation genes within the genomic context of several ribotypes. These studies will advance our understanding the biogeography of functional traits in microbes, how it is shaped by selection, and the role of intra-species functional diversity in the overall population dynamics of Prochlorococcus.

attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Two year time series of the abundance of Prochlorococcus cells containing the
nitrate reductase gene (narB) at the HOT and BATS sites in the Pacific and
Atlantic Oceans. The goal was to collect long-term, high-resolution data on
the temporal and spatial variability of Prochlorococcus narB genotypes
belonging to the HLII and LLI clades. The abundance of Prochlorococcus cells
containing narB for each of these clades was determined by quantitative PCR at
12 depths every month from October 2005 to December 2007 at two locations:
BATS location (5 nautical mile radius around 31 40'N, 64 10'W) and HOT Station
ALOHA (5 nautical mile radius around 22 45'N, 158 00' W). These field samples
are a subset of those utilized in the \Prochlorococcus HOT/BATS\ dataset
([https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/3381](\\http://www.bco-
dmo.org/dataset/3381\\)).
