attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Refer to the following paper for complete methodology:  \n Meyerhof, M. et al. 2016.\\u00a0Microbial community diversity, structure and\nassembly across oxygen gradients in meromictic marine lakes, Palau.\nEnvironmental Microbiology.\ndoi:[10.1111/1462-2920.13416](\\\\\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.13416\\\\\")\n \nIn summary (extracted from above paper):  \n We studied five meromictic lakes in Palau: Spooky Lake (SLM), Goby Lake\n(GLK), Ongeim\\u2019l Tketau Lake (OTM, known colloquially as Jellyfish Lake),\nClear Lake (CLM) and Ngermeuangel Lake (NLK). One holomictic lake (Mekeald\nLake; MLN) and an ocean site at the German Channel on the southwestern side of\nthe islands (OS-GC) were also sampled for comparison. We vertically profiled\ndissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pH, chlorophyll fluorescence and\nsalinity/conductivity using a HydroLab DS5 (Hach Company, Loveland, CO, USA)\nand sampled three depth layers within each meromictic lake: the mixolimnion\n(0\\u20135 m depth), the monimolimnion (5\\u201320 m depth) and intermediate\ndepths near the chemocline; these intermediate depths ranged from 1 to 15 m,\ndepending on the depth of the chemocline within the individual lakes. We\nsampled comparable depths at MLN (5\\u201320 m) and OS-GC (5\\u201330 m). For\nQPCR analysis of functional genes (dsrA, amoA and nirS) and specific\nfunctional groups, as well as analysis dissolved nutrient concentrations, we\ncollected additional samples above and below the chemocline to capture abrupt\ntransitions in biogeochemical conditions across this interface.\n \nSamples were collected from small boats using a horizontal, 2.5 L GoFlo bottle\n(General Oceanics, Miami, FL, USA), transferred to 1 L polycarbonate bottles,\nand stored in the dark during transit to the Coral Reef Research Foundation\nlaboratory in Koror, Palau. Water samples were filtered using a peristaltic\npump and 0.22 um Durapore PVDF hydrophilic filters (Millipore, Billerica, MA,\nUSA). Filters were immediately frozen in 800 uL Sucrose-Tris-EDTA (STE) lysis\nbuffer (750 mM sucrose, 20 mM EDTA, 400 mM NaCl and 50 mM Tris) in 2 mL Lysing\nMatrix E tubes (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH, USA), and stored at -20 C until\ntransport to the United States, where they were stored at -80 C until\nextraction (Dry ice and liquid nitrogen are not readily available in Palau.)\n \nDuring sample filtration, 50 mL of filtrate was collected in high density\npolyethylene bottles for subsequent nutrient analysis at the University of\nCalifornia, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Marine Analytical Laboratory. Samples were\nanalyzed for ammonium (UCSB MAL analytical method for ammonium, see below;\nDiamond and Huberty, 1996), nitrite (Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\nMethod 353.2; Schroeder, 1997), nitrite+nitrate (EPA Method 353.2; Diamond,\n1997) and phosphate (EPA Method 365.1; Huberty and Diamond, 1998), on a Lachat\nQuikChem 8000 Flow Injection Analyzer (Hach Company, Loveland, CO, USA). A\nhandful of samples containing large concentrations of sulfide were not\nanalyzed for nitrate, as sulfide damages the cadmium reduction column. For\nammonium analysis, each sample was injected into a flowing carrier stream\nthrough an injection valve, and then merged with an alkaline solution stream;\nthe produced ammonia was diffused through a hydrophobic, gas-permeable\nmembrane into a recipient stream containing a pH indicator. Colour change\noccurs in the indicator solution due to an increase in pH, and the\nconcentration of ammonia was determined spectrophotometrically based on\nabsorption at 570 nm. For all analyses, a mid-range check standard bracketed\nevery 20 samples to verify the accuracy of the measurements, and samples that\nwere detected outside of the standards\\u2019 range were diluted 1:10 and\nreanalyzed. Detection limits were 0.10 uM for phosphate, 0.10 uM for nitrite,\n0.20 uM for nitrite+nitrate and 0.10 uM for ammonium.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_dataset_instrument_nid String 683391
attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_1_description String An instrument that performs flow injection analysis. Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an approach to chemical analysis that is accomplished by injecting a plug of sample into a flowing carrier stream. FIA is an automated method in which a sample is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution that mixes with other continuously flowing solutions before reaching a detector. Precision is dramatically increased when FIA is used instead of manual injections and as a result very specific FIA systems have been developed for a wide array of analytical techniques.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String This project will survey the taxonomic, genetic, and functional diversity of the organisms found in marine lakes, and investigate the processes that cause gains and losses in this biodiversity. Marine lakes formed as melting ice sheets raised sea level after the last glacial maximum and flooded hundreds of inland valleys around the world. Inoculated with marine life from the surrounding sea and then isolated to varying degrees for the next 6,000 to 15,000 years, these marine lakes provide multiple, independent examples of how environments and interactions between species can drive extinction and speciation. Researchers will survey the microbes, algae, invertebrates, and fishes present in 40 marine lakes in Palau and Papua, and study how diversity has changed over time by retrieving the remains of organisms preserved in sediments on the lake bottoms. The project will test whether the number of species, the diversity of functional roles played by organisms, and the genetic diversity within species increase and decrease in parallel; whether certain species can greatly curtail diversity by changing the environment; whether the size of a lake determines its biodiversity; and whether the processes that control diversity in marine organisms are similar to those that operate on land.\nBecause biodiversity underlies the ecosystem services on which society depends, society has a great interest in understanding the processes that generate and retain biodiversity in nature. This project will also help conserve areas of economic importance. Marine lakes in the study region are important for tourism, and researchers will work closely with governmental and non-governmental conservation and education groups and with diving and tourism businesses to raise awareness of the value and threats to marine lakes in Indonesia and Palau.
