attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Nine species of diatoms were isolated from the Western Antarctic Peninsula\nalong the PalmerLTER sampling grid in 2013 and 2014. Isolations were performed\nusing an Olympus CKX41 inverted microscope by single cell isolation with a\nmicropipette (Anderson 2005). Diatom species were identified by morphological\ncharacterization and 18S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequencing. DNA was extracted with\nthe DNeasy Plant Mini Kit according to the manufacturer\\u2019s protocols\n(Qiagen). Amplification of the nuclear 18S rDNA region was achieved with\nstandard PCR protocols using eukaryotic-specific, universal 18S forward and\nreverse primers. Primer sequences were obtained from Medlin et al. (1982). The\nlength of the region amplified is approximately 1800 base pairs (bp\n).\\u00a0Pseudo-nitzschia\\u00a0species are often difficult to identify by their\n18S rDNA sequence, therefore, additional support of the taxonomic\nidentification of\\u00a0P.\\u00a0subcurvata\\u00a0was provided through sequencing\nof the 18S-ITS1-5.8S regions. Amplification of this region was performed with\nthe 18SF-euk and 5.8SR_euk primers of Hubbard et al. (2008). PCR products were\npurified using either QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen) or ExoSAP-IT\n(Affymetrix) and sequenced by Sanger DNA sequencing (Genewiz). Sequences were\nedited using Geneious Pro software\n([http://www.geneious.com](\\\\\"http://www.geneious.com\\\\\"), Kearse et al.,\n2012) and BLASTn sequence homology searches were performed against the NCBI\nnucleotide non-redundant (nr) database to determine species with a cutoff\nidentity of 98%.\n \nDiatom phylogenetic analysis was performed with Geneious Pro and included 71\nadditional diatom 18S rDNA sequences from publically available genomes and\ntranscriptomes, including those in the MMETSP database. Diatom sequences were\ntrimmed to the same length and aligned with MUSCLE (Edgar 2004). A\nphylogenetic tree was created in Mega with the Maximum-likelihood method of\ntree reconstruction, the Jukes-Cantor genetic distance model (Jukes and Cantor\n1969), and 100 bootstrap replicates.\n \nIsolates were maintained at 4 deg C in constant irradiance at intensities of\neither 10\\u00a0umol\\u00a0photons m-2\\u00a0s-1\\u00a0(low light) or\n90\\u00a0umol\\u00a0photons m-2\\u00a0s-1\\u00a0(growth saturating light) and with\nmedia containing high and low iron concentrations. Cultures were grown in the\nsynthetic seawater medium, AQUIL, enriched with filter sterilized vitamin and\ntrace metal ion buffer containing 100\\u00a0umol\\u00a0L-1\\u00a0EDTA. The growth\nmedia also contained 300 \\u03bcmol L-1\\u00a0nitrate,\n200\\u00a0umol\\u00a0L-1\\u00a0silicic acid and\n20\\u00a0umol\\u00a0L-1\\u00a0phosphate. Premixed Fe-EDTA (1:1) was added\nseparately for total iron concentrations of either 1370 nmol L-1\\u00a0or 3.1\nnmol L-1. Cultures were grown in acid-washed 28 mL polycarbonate centrifuge\ntubes (Nalgene) and maintained in exponential phase by dilution. Specific\ngrowth rates of successive transfers were calculated from the linear\nregression of the natural\\u00a0log of\\u00a0in\nvivo\\u00a0chlorophyll\\u00a0a\\u00a0fluorescence using a Turner 10-AU\nfluorometer (Brand et al. 1981).\\u00a0\n \nStatistical analyses of growth rates and photophysiological data were\nperformed with SigmaPlot 12.5 (SysStat Software Inc.). To test for significant\ndifferences between treatments, Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was\nperformed with a significance level set\\u00a0to\\u00a0p<0.05. ANOVA also tests\nfor normality using Shapiro-Wilks and Equal Variance tests. Because ANOVA does\nnot test all interactions, an unpaired t-test was performed between \\u2013FeLL\nand +FeSL for u, Fv:Fm, and \\u00a0oPSII. All tests passed the Shapiro-Wilks\nNormality tests unless otherwise stated, in which case\\u00a0p-values are\nrepresentative of the Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test. Post-hoc Tukey tests were\nalso performed in order to determine which treatments differed significantly\n(p\\u00a0< 0.05).\n \nCultures for high throughput sequencing of mRNA were grown in acid-washed 2L\npolycarbonate bottles in iron-replete conditions under growth-saturating light\n(90\\u00a0umol\\u00a0photons m-2\\u00a0s-1). After reaching late\nexponential/early stationary phase, cultures were harvested onto polycarbonate\nfilters (3.0 um pore size, 25 mm) and stored at -80 deg C. Total RNA was\nextracted using the RNAqueous 4PCR Kit (Ambion) according to the\nmanufacturer\\u2019s protocols. Residual genomic DNA was eliminated by DNAseI\ndigestion at 37 deg C for 45 min. An Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 was used to\ndetermine RNA integrity. mRNA libraries were generated with ~2\\u00a0ug\\u00a0of\ntotal RNA and prepared with the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library\nPreparation Kit. Samples were individually barcoded and pooled prior to\nsequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform at the High Throughput Sequencing\nFacility (HTSF) at UNC-Chapel Hill. Sequencing resulted in approximately 0.7-2\nmillion paired-end reads of 2x300bp per sample.\\u200b

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_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).\n\nInverted 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.\n\nThe 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.\nAlthough 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.
