attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Stable Isotope Methods for d15N-NO3-, d18O-NO3-, d15N-POM, and d15N-NH4+: All\nfilters, glassware, and glass vials used for isotope analysis were pre-\ncombusted for 4 hours at 450C and plastic bottles were acid washed in a 10%\nHCl bath overnight, to eliminate any crossover N. In preparation for stable\nisotope analysis, raw seawater was filtered onto a glass fiber filter (25-mm\ndiameter, Whatman GF/D, Cat #: 1823010) to separate particulate organic matter\n(POM) and dissolved fractions (NO3- and NH4+). Filters were transferred into\n20-ml glass vials (Fisher, catalog #05-719-117) and frozen at -20C until\nisotope analysis of POM (15NPOM). Filtrate, 200 ml, for isotope analysis of\ndissolved NH4+ (15NNH4+) was processed using a modified version of the NH4+\ndiffusion method of Holmes (1998), whereby polypropylene membrane filters (25\nmm, lot #: 151579, Sterlitech) replaced Teflon filters (Hannon and Bohlke\n2008). Isotope analysis of NH4+ and POM was performed on a Finnigan-MAT\nDeltaPlus Isotope Ratio Monitoring Mass Spectrometer coupled with a Carlo Erba\nNC 2500 Elemental Analyzer (Model 1108) (Organic Mass Spectrometry Facility,\nWHOI). Depending on the expected amount of N per sample, the instrument was\nconfigured for the typical range of detection, 0.5 to 5 moles N, or modified\nat the EA combustion furnace to reach a lower detection limit, 0.15 umoles N\n(Houghton et al. 2000, Holtvoeth et al. 2005, 2006, York et al. 2007). The\nprecision of 15N measurements on this instrument was 0.17\\u2030. Filtrate, 20\nml for N and O stable isotope analysis of dissolved nitrate (15NNO3-) was\ntransferred into duplicate 30-ml HDPE bottles and analyzed by bacteria\ndenitrification assay using ThermoFinnigan GasBench + PreCon trace gas\nconcentration system interfaced to a ThermoScientific Delta V Plus isotope-\nratio mass spectrometer (Bremen, Germany) (UC Davis Stable Isotope Facility).\n \nMethods for nutrient quantification: Dissolved nutrient samples were filtered\nthrough a glass fiber filter (25-mm diameter, Whatman GF/F, CAT No. 1825-025).\nThe filtrate was collected in acid-washed 20-ml scintillation vials for\nnutrient analysis and then frozen at -20 deg C until analysis. A SEAL AA3\nfour-channel segmented flow analyzer (Nutrient Chemical Facility, Woods Hole\nOceanographic Institution, WHOI) was used to quantify NH4+, NO3-/NO2-,\nSilicate, and PO43- in the GF/F-filtered medium using standard methods.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF award abstract:\nThe US and other countries throughout the world are affected by harmful algal blooms (HABs) that negatively impact human health, marine ecosystems, fisheries resources, and local economies. Anthropogenic nutrient loadings have been linked to expanding HAB incidence, but the relationship is site- and organism-specific, and is still poorly understood. The main challenge in this regard is to determine the relative importance of natural versus anthropogenic nutrient sources in the development of an individual HAB species. Given the diverse nature of the planktonic assemblage in which HABs occur, and the lack of appropriate measurement techniques, this is exceedingly difficult to accomplish.\nIn this project, research teams at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and University of Texas at Austin will take a novel approach to this challenge: They use use the nitrogen isotopic signature (del15N) of a species-specific HAB toxin to identify the nitrogen source and chemical form that promotes cell growth and toxin production. The bloom-forming dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense and its class of bioactive compounds, saxitoxins (STXs), are an ideal model system as STXs are nitrogen-rich and are typically only produced by a single species in mixed plankton assemblages. The guiding overall hypothesis is that the isotopic signature of a HAB-specific toxin can be used to discriminate between anthropogenic and natural sources of N and provide more details than bulk material del15N on the source, chemical form, and processing of N that lead to blooms of a particular toxic species. This hypothesis is based on the principle that human and animal waste in groundwater and sewage become 15N-enriched and inorganic fertilizers 15N-depleted, relative to natural sources of N in catchment waters. While the use of the isotopic ratio del15N of bulk biomass to identify nitrogen sources to coastal waters is a widely accepted practice, this use of a toxin as a species-specific tracer or marker is new and will provide details on the explicit source, chemical form, and processing of nitrogen that results in blooms of a particular HAB species.\nBroader Impacts: This project addresses fundamental issues underlying the most widespread of all HAB poisoning syndromes, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), a major form of shellfish poisoning that affects countries throughout the world. Project results can also assist in policy decisions about pollution control and other bloom mitigation strategies, and can be applied to a range of HAB species - those that produce saxitoxins, as well as those that produce other toxins that are nitrogen rich. Project results will be broadly disseminated through scientific papers, presentations at workshops, domestic and international conferences, and departmental seminars, and discussions with the media.
