"Methodology:\\u00a0from\\u00a0Parsons et al (2011):
Study site and sample collection:
Samples were collected aboard the\\u00a0RV Weatherbird II\\u00a0or the\\u00a0RV
Atlantic Explorer\\u00a0at the BATS site (31\\u00b0 40\\u2032 N, 64\\u00b010\\u2032
W). All cruises were conducted as part of the larger BATS program and sampled
at least monthly with biweekly sampling between February and April. This
sampling strategy has been successful in revealing the major temporal
microbial and biogeochemical patterns at this site (Carlson and Ducklow,
1996;\\u00a0Steinberg et al., 2001;\\u00a0Morris et al., 2005;\\u00a0Carlson et
al., 2009;\\u00a0Treusch et al., 2009;\\u00a0Lomas et al., 2010). A broader
assessment of the BATS biogeochemical data is presented in\\u00a0Deep Sea
Research II\\u00a0in 1996 (volume 43, issues 2\\u20133) and 2001 (volume 48,
issues 8\\u20139).
Samples for virioplankton (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 140, 160, 200, 250 and
300\\u2009m) and bacterioplankton (0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160,
200, 250 and 300\\u2009m) were collected at the BATS site from January 2000 to
December 2009 via conductivity, temperature, depth profiling rosette equipped
with 12\\u2009l Niskin bottles. The 120\\u2009m virioplankton sample was added
after October 2007. Throughout the entire time-series, all virioplankton
samples were fixed with 0.02\\u2009um filtered formalin (1% final
concentration), placed in 5\\u2009ml cryovials and flash frozen in liquid
nitrogen (Wen et al., 2004) until processing (within 12 weeks of collection).
Samples for bacterioplankton abundance were fixed with 0.2\\u2009um filtered
gluteraldehyde (1% final concentration) and stored at either 4\\u2009\\u00b0C
for 72\\u2009h or flash frozen and subsequently stored at \\u221280\\u2009\\u00b0C
for up to 6 months until processing as described in\\u00a0Steinberg et al
(2001). Storage tests demonstrated no appreciable loss of virioplankton or
bacterioplankton abundance when stored in liquid nitrogen for periods up to 6
months (unpublished data). Picophytoplankton samples were collected at the
same depths through 250\\u2009m from October 2001 to December 2009 (Casey et
al., 2007). Samples for fluorescence\\u00a0in situ\\u00a0hybridization (FISH) of
specific heterotrophic bacterioplankton lineages were collected from the upper
300\\u2009m from January 2003 to December 2005 (Carlson et al., 2009).
Biogeochemical and physical data collected at the BATS site are available
at\\u00a0[http://bats.bios.edu](\\\\\"http://bats.bios.edu\\\\\"). The MLD was
determined as the depth where potential density (sigma-t) of the water was
equal to sea surface sigma-t\\u00a0plus the equivalent in sigma-t\\u00a0to a
0.2\\u2009\\u00b0C decrease in temperature (Sprintall and Tomczak, 1992).
Contour plots were created in Ocean Data View (R
Schlitzer,\\u00a0[https://odv.awi.de/](\\\\\"https://odv.awi.de/\\\\\")) with VG
Gridding and linear mapping adjusted to the median of each data set.
Statistics (Pearson's correlation and two-tailed Student's\\u00a0t-test for
unequal variances), ratios and percent contributions were determined using
Microsoft Excel.
Virioplankton abundance:
Virioplankton abundance was enumerated according to the methods
of\\u00a0Noble and Fuhrman (1998). Briefly, water samples were filtered on to
0.02\\u2009um Anodisc aluminum oxide filters (Whatman, Kent, UK), stained with
SYBR Green I (Molecular Probes Inc., Eugene, OR, USA), and enumerated via
epifluorescence microscopy using an Olympus AX70 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo,
Japan) equipped with a Toshiba CCD video camera (Irvine, CA, USA) and Pro-
series Capture Kit version 4.5 (I-CUBE, Crofton, MD, USA). Ten images from
each sample were processed with scripts written in Image Pro Plus (Media
Cybernetics, Bethesda, MD, USA) for particles sized 0.01\\u20130.27\\u2009um2,
using the clean borders function (cells touching the edge of the image or grid
were omitted). We consider these estimates of viral abundance conservative
because it is possible that some viral particles less than one pixel were
omitted from the final count. We performed pairwise comparisons of automated
versus manual enumeration of virioplankton abundance to determine any
discrepancies between the two approaches. Samples collected along a gradient
from offshore (BATS;\\u00a0n=92) to onshore waters of Bermuda (n=32) were
highly correlated with automated counts being slightly greater than manual
counts (slope=1.07,\\u00a0r=0.99,\\u00a0n=134). The lower estimates of viral
abundance from manual counts may have resulted from image fading during
enumeration and/or operator fatigue. We argue that for this study, the
automated image analysis was the most reliable approach for viral particle
enumeration. The coefficient of variation for the automated counts averaged
11% (n=1517).";

"(Adapted from the NSF award abstract)
The premise of this project is that stratified bacterioplankton clades engage in specialized biogeochemical activities that can be identified by integrated oceanographic and microbiological approaches. Specifically, the objective of this project is to assess if the mesopelagic microbial community rely on diagenetically altered organic matter and subcellular fragments that are produced by microbial processes in the euphotic zone and delivered into the upper mesopelagic by sinking or mixing. In past efforts this microbial observatory had greater success cultivating members of the euphotic zone microbial community, and revealed an unanticipated growth requirement for reduced sulfur compounds in alphaproteobacteria of the SAR11 clade. Genomic information showed that intense competition for substrates imposes trade-offs on bacterioplankton - there are regions of N dimensional nutrient space where specialists win. We postulate that specific growth requirements may explain some the regular spatial and temporal patterns that have been observed in upper mesopelagic bacterioplankton communities, and the difficulties of culturing some of these organisms.
The specific objectives of this project are: 1) to produce 13C and 15N labeled subcellular (e.g., soluble, cell wall, and membrane) and DOM fractions from photosynthetic plankton cultures and use stable isotope probing to identify specific clades in the surface and upper mesopelagic microbial community that assimilate fractions of varying composition and lability. 2) to use fluorescence in situ hybridization approaches to monitor temporal and spatial variability of specific microbial populations identified from the SIP and HTC experiments. To increase resolution we will use CARD-FISH protocols. 3) to measure the proteomes of bacterioplankton communities to identify highly translated genes in the surface layer and upper mesopelagic, and community responses to seasonal nutrient limitation. 4) and, to cultivate these organisms via high throughput culturing (HTC) by pursuing the hypothesis that they require specific nutrient factors and/or diagenetically altered organic substrates. Complete genome sequences from key organisms will be sought and used as queries to study patterns of natural variation in genes and populations that have been associated with biogeochemically important functions.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
