attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	Nine species of diatoms were isolated from the Western Antarctic Peninsula along the PalmerLTER sampling grid in 2013 and 2014. Isolations were performed using an Olympus CKX41 inverted microscope by single cell isolation with a micropipette (Anderson 2005). Diatom species were identified by morphological characterization and 18S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequencing. DNA was extracted with the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit according to the manufacturer\u2019s protocols (Qiagen). Amplification of the nuclear 18S rDNA region was achieved with standard PCR protocols using eukaryotic-specific, universal 18S forward and reverse primers. Primer sequences were obtained from Medlin et al. (1982). The length of the region amplified is approximately 1800 base pairs (bp ).\u00a0Pseudo-nitzschia\u00a0species are often difficult to identify by their 18S rDNA sequence, therefore, additional support of the taxonomic identification of\u00a0P.\u00a0subcurvata\u00a0was provided through sequencing of the 18S-ITS1-5.8S regions. Amplification of this region was performed with the 18SF-euk and 5.8SR_euk primers of Hubbard et al. (2008). PCR products were purified using either QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen) or ExoSAP-IT (Affymetrix) and sequenced by Sanger DNA sequencing (Genewiz). Sequences were edited using Geneious Pro software ([http://www.geneious.com](\\"http://www.geneious.com\\"), Kearse et al., 2012) and BLASTn sequence homology searches were performed against the NCBI nucleotide non-redundant (nr) database to determine species with a cutoff identity of 98%. Diatom phylogenetic analysis was performed with Geneious Pro and included 71 additional diatom 18S rDNA sequences from publically available genomes and transcriptomes, including those in the MMETSP database. Diatom sequences were trimmed to the same length and aligned with MUSCLE (Edgar 2004). A phylogenetic tree was created in Mega with the Maximum-likelihood method of tree reconstruction, the Jukes-Cantor genetic distance model (Jukes and Cantor 1969), and 100 bootstrap replicates. Illumina TruSeq adapters and poly-A tails were trimmed from raw reads using the Fastx_toolkit clipper function. Fastq_quality_filter was used to remove poor quality sequences, such that remaining sequences had a minimum quality score of 20 with a minimum of 80% of bases within a\u00a0read\u00a0meeting this quality score requirement. Any remaining raw sequences less than 50 base pairs in length were also removed. Merged files were assembled\u00a0de novo\u00a0using Trinity (Grabherr et al. 2011). The resulting assembly was filtered to remove contigs less than 200 bp in length. Trinity-assembled contigs which exhibited sequence overlap were grouped into isogroups which were then used for sequence homology searches (BLASTx E-value \u2264 10-4) against the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases (Kanehisa 2006). BUSCO (Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs) was used to assess the completeness of genomes and transcriptomes based on sets of\u00a0single copy\u00a0orthologous groups derived from OrthoDB that are highly conserved within multiple lineages (Felipe et al. 2015). Completed, duplicated and fragmented orthologs were determined by meeting an \u2018expected score\u2019 and having aligned sequences within two standard deviations of the BUSCO gene\u2019s length.\u00a0A second\u00a0metric of completeness was performed by evaluating conserved pathways, such as the ribosome and spliceosome, using the single-directional\u00a0best-hit\u00a0method in the KEGG Automatic Annotation Server (KAAS) (Moriya et al. 2007).\u00a0Finally\u00a0contiguity,\u00a0was calculated at the 0.75 level as according to Martin and Wang (2011) with custom scripts. For each transcriptome, unassembled sequence reads were aligned to the final Trinity assembly using Bowtie 2 (Langmead 2012). Mapped reads were normalized by the Reads per Kilobase per Million reads method (RPKM) (Mortazavi et al. 2008). Gene biogeographical distributions -\u00a020 genes of interest were selected in the study to investigate the molecular basis of iron and light limitation in polar diatoms. Reference sequences for each of these genes were obtained from the\u00a0F.\u00a0cylindrus\u00a0and\u00a0P.\u00a0tricornutum\u00a0JGI genome portals and\u00a0T.\u00a0pseudonana\u00a0and\u00a0T.\u00a0oceanica\u00a0NCBI and GenBank repositories. Reference sequences were identified in the transcriptomes by translated nucleotide homology searches (tBLASTn) with an e-value cutoff of <10-5. A reciprocal tBLASTn homology search was performed for each transcriptome against the KEGG GENES database, using the single- directional\u00a0best-hit\u00a0method in the KAAS online tool to ensure consistent gene annotations (Moriya et al. 2007). Subsequently, reference sequences were identified in the MMETSP protein database by BLASTp (e-value <10-5) homology searches among the diatom transcriptomes. The transcriptomes and their associated latitude and longitude were obtained from iMicrobe Data Commons (Project Code CAM_P_0001000) and the National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA). Custom Matlab scripts allowed global biogeographical distribution of key genes of interest to be mapped.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_0_description	String	An inverted microscope is a microscope with its light source and condenser on the top, above the stage pointing down, while the objectives and turret are below the stage pointing up. It was invented in 1850 by J. Lawrence Smith, a faculty member of Tulane University (then named the Medical College of Louisiana). Inverted microscopes are useful for observing living cells or organisms at the bottom of a large container (e.g. a tissue culture flask) under more natural conditions than on a glass slide, as is the case with a conventional microscope. Inverted microscopes are also used in micromanipulation applications where space above the specimen is required for manipulator mechanisms and the microtools they hold, and in metallurgical applications where polished samples can be placed on top of the stage and viewed from underneath using reflecting objectives. The stage on an inverted microscope is usually fixed, and focus is adjusted by moving the objective lens along a vertical axis to bring it closer to or further from the specimen. The focus mechanism typically has a dual concentric knob for coarse and fine adjustment. Depending on the size of the microscope, four to six objective lenses of different magnifications may be fitted to a rotating turret known as a nosepiece. These microscopes may also be fitted with accessories for fitting still and video cameras, fluorescence illumination, confocal scanning and many other applications.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica is changing rapidly in response to Earth's warming climate. These changes will undoubtedly influence communities of primary producers (the organisms at the base of the food chain, particularly plant-like organisms using sunlight for energy) by altering conditions that influence their growth and composition. Because primary producers such as phytoplankton play an important role in global biogeochemical cycling, it is essential to understand how they will respond to changes in their environment. The growth of phytoplankton in certain regions of the Southern Ocean is constrained by steep gradients in chemical and physical properties that vary in both space and time. Light and iron have been identified as key variables influencing phytoplankton abundance and distribution within Antarctic waters. Microscopic algae known as diatoms are dominant members of the phytoplankton and sea ice communities, accounting for significant proportions of primary production. The overall objective of this project is to identify the molecular bases for the physiological responses of polar diatoms to varying light and iron conditions. The project should provide a means of evaluating the extent these factors regulate diatom growth and influence net community productivity in Antarctic waters. The project will also further the NSF goals of making scientific discoveries available to the general public and of training new generations of scientists. It will facilitate the teaching and learning of polar-related topics by translating the research objectives into readily accessible educational materials for middle-school students. This project will also provide funding to enable a graduate student and several undergraduate students to be trained in the techniques and perspectives of modern biology. Although numerous studies have investigated how polar diatoms are affected by varying light and iron, the cellular mechanisms leading to their distinct physiological responses remain unknown. Using comparative transcriptomics, the expression patterns of key genes and metabolic pathways in several ecologically important polar diatoms recently isolated from Antarctic waters and grown under varying iron and irradiance conditions will be examined. In addition, molecular indicators for iron and light limitation will be developed within these polar diatoms through the identification of iron- and light-responsive genes -- the expression patterns of which can be used to determine their physiological status. Upon verification in laboratory cultures, these indicators will be utilized by way of metatranscriptomic sequencing to examine iron and light limitation in natural diatom assemblages collected along environmental gradients in Western Antarctic Peninsula waters. In order to fully understand the role phytoplankton play in Southern Ocean biogeochemical cycles, dependable methods that provide a means of elucidating the physiological status of phytoplankton at any given time and location are essential.
