attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Hydrolysis, derivatization and analyses of samples for CSIA \\u2013\\u00a0 For\nExps. 3-4, samples (1-2 mg dry weight) for CSIA-AA were added to 1 ml 6 N\nHPLC-grade HCl, then flushed with N2, capped with a Teflon-lined cap, and\nhydrolyzed at 150\\u00b0C for 70 min.\\u00a0 The resulting hydrolysate was\nevaporated to dryness under N2 at 55\\u00b0C, redissolved in 1 ml 0.01 N HCl,\npurified by filtration (0.45-\\u03bcm hydrophilic filter), washed with 1 ml of\n0.01 N HCl, and further purified using cation-exchange chromatography with a\n5-cm resin column (Dowex 50WX8-400) in a glass Pasteur pipette.\\u00a0 AAs were\neluted with 4 ml of 2 N NH4OH and evaporated to dryness under a stream of N2\nat 80\\u00b0C, then reacidified with 0.5 ml of 0.2 N HCl, flushed with N2,\nheated to 110\\u00b0C for 5 min and evaporated to dryness under N2 at\n55\\u00b0C.\\u00a0 Hydrolyzed samples were esterified with 2 ml of 4:1\nisopropanol:acetyl chloride, flushed with N2 and heated to 110\\u00b0C for 60\nmin.\\u00a0 After drying at 60\\u00b0C under N2, the samples were acylated by\nadding 1 ml of 3:1 methylene chloride:trifluoracetic anhydride (TFAA) and\nheated to 100\\u00b0C for 15 min.\\u00a0 The derivatized AAs were further\npurified by solvent extraction following (Ueda et al. 1989).\\u00a0 The\nacylated AA esters were evaporated at room temperature under N2 and\nredissolved in 3 ml of 1:2 chloroform:P-buffer (KH2PO4 + Na2HPO4 in Milli-Q\nwater, pH 7).\\u00a0 Vigorous shaking ensured that the derivitized AAs were\npartitioned into chloroform while contaminants remained in the P-buffer.\\u00a0\nThe solvents were separated by centrifugation (10 min at 600 g), the\nchloroform was transferred to a clean vial, and the solvent extraction process\nrepeated.\\u00a0 Finally, to ensure derivatization, the acylation step was\nrepeated.\\u00a0 Samples were stored at \\u201320\\u00b0C in 3:1 methylene\nchloride:TFAA for up to 2 weeks until analysis.\\u00a0 AA derivatives were then\nanalyzed by isotope monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.\\u00a0 We\nused a Delta V Plus mass spectrometer interfaced with a Trace GC gas\nchromatograph through a GC-C III combustion furnace (980\\u00b0C), reduction\nfurnace (650\\u00b0C), and liquid nitrogen cold trap.\\u00a0 Internal reference\ncompounds (aminoadipic acid and norleucine) of known nitrogen isotopic\ncomposition were co-injected with samples and used to normalize the measured\n\\u03b415N values of unknown AAs, and a suite of eight AAs with known isotopic\ncomposition was analyzed every 3 injections for additional quality\ncontrol.\\u00a0 At least three injections per sample were analyzed.\\u00a0 For\nExps. 5 and 6, CSIA-AA samples were hydrolyzed in 6N HCl at 110\\u00b0C for 20\nh.\\u00a0 The hydrolysate was evaporated to dryness at temperature under a\ncontinuous stream of N2 gas, then esterified with 4:1 isotopropanol:acetyl\nchloride at 110\\u00b0C for 60 min, acylated in a 1:1 solution of methylene\nchloride:trifluoracetic anhydride (DCM:TFAA) for 10 min at 110\\u00b0C.\\u00a0\nSamples were stored at -20\\u00b0C in 1:1 DCM:TFAA for up to 3 months before\nisotope analysis using a Delta V Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific)\ninterfaced through a Conflo IV to a GC 1310 gas chromatograph coupled to a GC\nIsolink combustion-reduction furnace (1000\\u00b0C) and liquid nitrogen cold\ntrap.\\u00a0 All samples were injected (splitless injector) onto a forte BPx5\ncapillary column (60 m x 0.32 mm x 1.0-\\u03bcm film thickness) at an injector\ntemperature of 250\\u00b0C with a constant helium flow rate of 1.4 ml\nmin\\u20131.\\u00a0 The column was initially held at 50\\u00b0C for 2 min and\nthen increased to 125 \\u00b0C at a rate of 15\\u00b0C min-1.\\u00a0 Once at\n125\\u00b0C, the temperature was increased at a rate of 3\\u00b0C min-1 to\n160\\u00b0C and then to 190\\u00b0C at a rate of 4\\u00b0C min-1.\\u00a0 The final\ntemperature of 300\\u00b0C was reached by ramping to 275\\u00b0C at 6\\u00b0C\nmin-1 and then 15\\u00b0C min-1 afterward.\\u00a0 Samples were analyzed in\ntriplicate and normalized to the known \\u03b415N values of a suite of 14 AAs\nanalyzed before and after each set of 3 samples.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String CSIA-AA Mesozooplankton TP
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String CSIA-AA Mesozooplankton TP
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Description from NSF award abstract:\nEnergy dissipation and elemental cycling by protistan consumers in lower trophic levels of ocean food webs are of sufficient magnitude, based on global mean measures of the amount of primary production consumed, to strongly alter the efficiencies of material transfers to higher-level consumers and to export. We presently know very little about these microbial food web steps, how they vary regionally or temporally, or how they might be altered by climate change. Compound Specific Isotope Analysis of Amino Acids (CSIA-AA) offers an approach for advancing our understanding of microbial food web structure and trophic fluxes based on the trophic positions (TP) of mesozooplankton as temporal integrators of the fluxes from direct feeding on phytoplankton and indirect transfers via protistan microzooplankton. Preliminary laboratory experiments to test this idea have demonstrated that the standard application of the method, using labeled phenylalanine as the representative source AA for the primary producer baseline and labeled glutamic acid as the indicator AA for trophic enrichment, does not produce a measureable trophic-step signal for protistan grazers. However, the results have also shown that an alternative high-turnover AA, alanine, strongly enriches in protistan as well as metazoan consumers, and leads to substantially higher TP estimates of mesozooplankton in field-collected specimens than that based on labeled glutamic acid.\nThis research project will test the hypothesis that labeled alanine provides a quantifiable and consistent index of trophic enrichment for protistan steps in marine food webs. The research will involve three major elements. First, controlled laboratory experiments will be conducted with chemostat systems to compare 15N enrichments of alanine to other AAs for a representative suite of ciliate and flagellate grazers feeding on phytoplankton, and to evaluate the two-step enrichment from phytoplankton via a protistan grazer to a suspension-feeding copepod. Second, field-collected mesozooplankton from four distinct ecological regions of the Pacific Ocean will be analyzed by CSIA-AA to test the transfer of alanine enrichment through a metazoan trophic step (comparing suspension feeding species to primary carnivores) and to assess how the TP index differs with trophic structure over a broad range of ecological conditions. Last, CSIA-AA assessments of TP for size-structured zooplankton will be integrated into inverse models of nitrogen flows in the four regions (equatorial Pacific, subtropical North Pacific, California Current and Costa Rica Dome) as a major constraint for resolving and comparing fluxes through the microbial food web over the range of ecological conditions. A properly calibrated CSIA-AA assessment of mesozooplankton trophic position will provide a new and valuable approach for regional intercomparisons of lower-level food web structure, for assessing temporal and spatial trends in climate change, for ocean ecosystem model validation, and for better understanding of lower food-web energetic constraints on ocean fisheries.
