attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Inocula of 15N2-enriched water were prepared according to either of two\nprotocols outlined by Klawonn et al. (2015).\\u00a0  \n In a first Trial A, respective 1.9 mL of 15N2 gas aliquots (Cambridge\nIsotope Laboratories, Lot #I-21065) were injected into crimped-sealed 120 mL\nglass serum vials filled with deionized water. To dissolve the 15N2 bubble,\neach of the two serum vials was vortexed for 5 minutes. Two subsamples of each\ninoculum were dispensed into Exetainers\\u2122 with a peristaltic pump for\nanalysis on the MIMS. An aliquot of each inoculum (5 % vol/vol) was then\ndispensed in replicate 160 mL serum incubation bottles containing air-\nequilibrated deionized water (Trials A1-A4), which were then crimped-sealed.\nFollowing homogenization, triplicate subsamples of each incubation were\ncollected in Exetainers\\u2122 for MIMS analysis. The 15N atom % of the inocula\nand of the corresponding incubations were measured by MIMS at the University\nof Connecticut (Bay Instruments) and computed as follows:\\u00a0\n \nEquation 4:\\u00a0\n \nIn Trial B, duplicate 6 mL, 12 mL, and 24 mL aliquots of enriched seawater,\nprepared as per Wilson et al. (2012; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories 15N2 gas\naliquots, Lot #I-19168A), were added to 100 mL glass serum vials, filled with\nair equilibrated seawater, and crimp-sealed with no headspace using Teflon-\nlined septa. Triplicate subsamples of this dilution series and the enriched\nseawater were analyzed at the University of Hawaii on a MIMS (Bay Instruments;\nEq. 4).  \n \\u00a0\n \nIn both trials, the concentration of N2 isotopologues (m/z 28, 29, and 30) in\neach of the 15N2-enriched inocula was then extrapolated from the ionization\nefficiency of N isotopologues in air-equilibrated seawater. We define the\nionization efficiency as the ratio of the isotopologue ion current measured by\nMIMS relative to its concentration in air-equilibrated seawater (ASW):\\u00a0  \n \\u00a0\n \nEquation S2:\\u00a0\n \n For instance, at a temperature of 25\\u00baC and salinity of 35 psu, the\nsolubility coefficients of Hamme and Emerson (2004) predict a N2 concentration\nof 388.9 \\u03bcmol kg-1. The fraction of 15N in N2 (i.e., 15N/(14N+15N)) for\nair-equilibrated seawater is 0.003663 (Mariotti, 1983), such that the expected\nfractions of 28N2, 29N2, and 30N2 derived from their binomial probability\ndistributions are as follows:  \n \\u00a0\n \n \n\\u00a0 = 99.2687 % Equation S3a\n \n= 0.7299 % Equation S3b\n \n= 0.0013 % Equation S3c  \n \\u00a0\n \nAccordingly, air-equilibrated concentrations of 28N2, 29N2, and 30N2 at this\ntemperature and salinity are 386.0, 2.8, and 0.005 \\u03bcmol kg-1,\nrespectively. The ionization efficiency of the isotopologues is then equal to\nthe ion current of m/z 28 recorded for ASW divided by the corresponding 28N2\nconcentration (Eq. S2). We used the ionization efficiency of m/z 28 in ASW to\nderive the N2 isotopologue concentrations in the inocula from their respective\nMIMS ion currents. We did not derive distinct ionization efficiencies from the\nion current-to-concentration of m/z 29 and 30 in ASW, as these isotopologues\nare poorly resolved by the MIMS at natural abundance. Thus, we are assuming\nthat the ionization efficiency of m/z 29 and 30 isotopologues is roughly\nsimilar to that of m/z 28 (i.e., that ionization isotope effects are\nnegligible for our purposes). The initial expected AN2 of the\n\\u201cincubations\\u201d was then calculated using a linear mixing model with\nN2 isotopologue concentrations in ambient and enriched seawater

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String EAGER NitFix
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nThe availability of nitrogen is required to support the growth and production of organisms living in the surface of our global ocean. This element can be scarce. To alleviate this scarcity, a special class of bacteria and archaea, called nitrogen fixers, can derive the nitrogen needed for growth from nitrogen gas. This project would carefully examine one specific method for measuring nitrogen fixation that has been used recently to suggest the occurrence of small amounts of nitrogen fixation in subsurface ocean waters. If these reports are verified, then a revision of our understanding of the marine nitrogen cycle may be needed. The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry program will be used as a platform to develop community consensus for best practices in nitrogen fixation measurements and detection of diversity, activity, and abundances of the organisms responsible. In addition, a session will be organized in a future national/international conference to communicate with the broader scientific community while developing these best practices.\nThe goal of this study is to conduct a thorough examination of potential experimental and analytical errors inherent to the 15N2-tracer nitrogen fixation method, in tandem with comprehensive molecular measurements, in mesopelagic ocean waters. Samples will be collected and experimental work conducted on a cruise transect in the North Atlantic Ocean, followed by analytical work in the laboratory. The specific aims of this study are to (1) determine the minimum quantifiable rates of 15N2 fixation based on incubations of mesopelagic waters via characterization of sources of experimental and analytical error, and (2) seek evidence of presence and expression of nitrogen fixation genes via comprehensive molecular approaches on corresponding samples. The range of detectable rates and diazotroph activity from the measurements made in this study will be informative for the understanding of the importance of nitrogen fixation in the oceanic nitrogen budget.

attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String The \\u201cdissolution\\u201d method to measure N2 fixation rates with 15N2 gas tracer involves the preparation of 15N2-enriched water that is then added to each incubation bottle. Investigators typically measure the 15N2 atom% of the 15N2-enriched inoculum by MIMS, and extrapolate the 15N2 atom% in the incubations based on the inoculum value. Here, we demonstrate that such extrapolation yields inaccurate estimates of the 15N2 atom% of incubations. The latter should be measured directly.
