attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String During Alvin Dive 4905, May 8, 2017, 5 major samples were collected at the\ndiffuse-flow vent Crab Spa. The fluid from these samplers was used in an on-\ndeck Vent-SID incubation. The purpose of the incubation was to simulate a sea-\nfloor incubation of the Vent-SID. Upon arrival of majors on the ship, we\ntransferred fluid from the majors into N2 flushed 1L Restek bags. The bags\nwere stored at 4\\u02daC and taken out as needed for setting up a new Vent-SID\nincubation. In total,\\u00a0six incubations were conducted, all at\n25(+/-2)\\u02daC.\n \nMicrobial cell counts: Samples for cell numbers were fixed with formaldehyde\n(1% final concentration) and then counted on the board the ship after staining\nwith acridine orange by fluorescence microscopy as described in McNichol et\nal. (2016).\n \nCarbon fixation rates: 13C-labeled bicarbonate was added to the incubation\nchambers to assess chemoautotrophic production.\\u00a0At the beginning and the\nend of the incubation, fluids were filtered onto pre combusted GFF filters,\nwhich were frozen until analysis back in the shore lab. Gas chromatography\ncombustion (Fisons 1108 Elemental Analyzer equipped with a Costech \\\"Zero\nBlank\\\" sample carousel) coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (GC-\nIRMS) (Finnigan-MAT Conflo-II interface attached to a DeltaPlus Isotope Ratio\nMass Spectrometer) was used to measure the incorporation of 13C-labelled\nbicarbonate into biomass during the incubations to determine chemoautotrophic\nproduction.\n \nNitrate concentrations:\\u00a0\\u00a0Vent fluid from the Crab Spa site was\nincubated on the deck of the ship in the Vent-SID reaction chamber, in the\ndark at a temperature of 25(+/- 2)\\u00b0C. Incubations consisted of a vent\nfluid with added NO3- (10 \\u00b5mol/L), NO2- (1 \\u00b5mol/L) and H13CO3- (0.7\nmmol/L) and time-point samples were taken for nitrate+nitrite measurements at\n0, 3, and 6 hours. Six incubations were conducted that varied in combinations\nof 15NO3-/14NO3 or 15NO2-/14NO2-, keeping the total concentration of added\nNO3- and NO2- constant across incubations.\\u00a0\n \nNitrate concentrations were measured in time-point samples utilizing the\nvanadium(III) reduction of nitrate and nitrite method described by Braman and\nHendrix, 1989. Samples were injected into a heated Vanadium acid solution\nwhereby NO3- and NO2- were reduced to NOx gases. The NOx then passed into a\nTeledyne T200 NOx analyzer where a photodetector measured the light produced\nfrom the chemiluminescent reaction of NOx and instrument generated ozone.\n \nAfter initial collection, vent fluid samples were stored in 15 mL conical\ntubes at -20C until analyzed on the Teledyne NOx analyzer. Once thawed,\nsamples were injected using Hamilton 1700 series gastight syringes and Nitrate\nconcentrations were calculated alongside standards generated from a Ricca\nNitrate Nitrogen Standard (CAT#5459-16, 1000 ppm N, 4427 ppm NO3). The series\nof standards ranged from 1 uM to 50 uM and were made up by diluting the Ricca\nstandard in Milli-Q water.\n \nPeak Simple Version 4.49 was used to generate chromatographs from the\nphotodetector and raw data was further processed in Microsoft Excel.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF award abstract:\nDeep-sea hydrothermal vents, first discovered in 1977, are exemplary ecosystems where microbial chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis is the primary source of organic carbon. Chemosynthetic microorganisms use the energy generated by oxidizing reduced inorganic chemicals contained in the vent fluids, like hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen gas, to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into cell material. By doing so, they effectively transfer the energy from a geothermal source to higher trophic levels, in the process supporting the unique and fascinating ecosystems that are characterized by high productivity - oases in the otherwise barren deep ocean landscape. While the general view of the functioning of these ecosystems is established, there are still major gaps in our understanding of the microbiology and biogeochemistry of these systems. Particularly lacking are studies measuring rates of microbial activity in situ, which is ultimately needed to understand production of these ecosystems and to assess their impact on global biogeochemical cycles. This project makes use of the Vent-Submersible Incubation Device (Vent-SID), a robotic micro-laboratory that was recently developed and tested in the field. This instrument makes it possible for the first time to determine rates of carbon fixation at both in situ pressures and temperatures, revolutionizing the way we conduct microbial biogeochemical investigations at deep-sea hydrothermal vents. This is an interdisciplinary and collaborative effort between two US and foreign institutions, creating unique opportunities for networking and to foster international collaborations. This will also benefit two graduate students working in the project, who will get exposed to a wide range of instrumentation and scientific fields, facilitating their interdisciplinary education. In collaboration with Dr. Nitzan Resnick, academic dean of The Sage School, an elementary school outreach program will be developed and a long-term partnership with the school established. Further, a cruise blog site to disseminate the research to schools and the broader public will be set up. The results will be the topic of media coverage as well as be integrated into coursework and webpages existing either in the PI's labs or at the institution.\nThis project is using a recently developed robotic micro-laboratory, the Vent-SID, to measure rates of chemoautotrophic production and to determine the relative importance of oxygen and nitrate in driving chemosynthesis at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at in situ pressures and temperatures and to tackle the following currently unresolved science objectives: 1) obtain in situ rates of chemoautotrophic carbon fixation, 2) obtain in situ nitrate reduction rate measurements, and 3) directly correlate the measurement of these processes with the expression of key genes involved in carbon and energy metabolism. Although recent data suggests that nitrate reduction either to N2 (denitrification) or to NH4+ (dissimilatory reduction of nitrate to ammonium) might be responsible for a significant fraction of chemoautotrophic production, NO3-reduction rates have never been measured in situ at hydrothermal vents. The researchers hypothesize that chemoautrophic growth is strongly coupled to nitrate respiration in vent microbial communities. During a cruise that will take place approximately 12 months into the project (~Feb 2017), the researchers will carry out a total of 4 deployments of the Vent-SID as well as ancillary sampling collection at the 9°46N to 9°53N segment of the East Pacific Rise. They will focus efforts on two diffuse-flow vent sites, \"Crab Spa\" and \"Teddy Bear\". \"Crab Spa\" is a diffuse flow vent site (T: 25°C) that has been used as a model system to gain insights into chemoautotrophic processes and has been frequently sampled over the last several years. This vent site has been very well characterized, both geochemically and microbiologically, providing excellent background data for the proposed process oriented studies. \"Teddy Bear\" is a diffuse-flow site that was discovered in Jan 2014, and it has a lower temperature (T: 12°C), making it a good comparative site. The researchers will perform a number of short duration time-course incubations to assess the role of different environmental parameters that have been identified as likely key variables (e.g., O2, temperature, NO3-), and to link these process rate measurements to the expression of functional genes using metatranscriptomic analyses. This study will be the first attempt to measure critical metabolic processes of hydrothermal vent microbial assemblages under critical in situ conditions and to assess the quantitative importance of electron donor and acceptor pathways in situ. In the future, it is envisioned that the Vent-SID will become a routine application by the oceanographic community for measuring time series rates of relevant metabolic processes at hydrothermal vents under in situ pressures and vent fluid temperatures.
