String acquisition_description
"Surface sediment was retrieved using a modified Van Veen grab. Duplicate cores
were taken from each grab sample using sterile, cut-off 5 mL syringes and
immediately placed on dry ice prior to storage at \\u201380 degrees celsius.
Bottom water nutrient samples were collected in triplicate using a hand-held
Niskin bottle, immediately filtered (0.2 um pore size), and frozen on dry ice
prior to storage at \\u201320 degrees celsius. Nutrient (NH4+, NO2-, and NO3-)
concentrations were measured using a QuikChem 8000 Flow Injection Analyzer
(Lachat Instruments).\\u00a0
Sediment samples for potential nitrification rate measurements were collected
in triplicate into the barrels of cut-off 60 mL syringes, which were sealed
with parafilm and transported to the laboratory on ice. Potential rates were
measured using amended sediment slurries. Slurries included 5 g of sediment
(top 1 cm) homogenized in 100 mL of filtered bottom water augmented with NH4+
and phosphate to final additional concentrations of 500 and 100 uM,
respectively. Amended slurries were shaken (200 rpm) in the dark for 24 hours
at room temperature (about 22 degrees celsius). Aliquots for the determination
of NO3- plus NO2- (NOX) were collected at evenly spaced intervals through the
incubation period and stored at \\u201320 degrees celsius. Prior to analysis,
aliquots were thawed and passed through Whatman No. 42 filter paper, and the
filtrate was analyzed for the accumulation of NOx over time, using a SmartChem
200 Discrete Analyzer (Unity Scientific). Rates were determined by linear
regression of NOx concentrations over time.
DNA was extracted from approximately 0.5 g of surface sediments by extruding
and cutting the top 0.5 cm from frozen cores with a sterile scalpel and
immediately proceeding with the FastDNA SPIN Kit for Soil (MP Biomedicals),
including a FastPrep bead beating step of 30 s at speed 5.5. AOA and AOB amoA
genes were quantified using gene-specific SYBR qPCR assays on a StepOnePlus
Real-Time PCR System (Life Technologies). AOA amoA reactions contained iTaq
SYBR Green Supermix with ROX (Bio-Rad Laboratories), 0.4 uM primers Arch-amoAF
/Arch-amoAR (Francis et al., 2005) and 1 uL template DNA. AOA qPCR program
details were identical to previously published protocols (Mosier and Francis,
2008) but with a 10 s detection step at 78.5 degrees celsius. AOB amoA qPCR
reactions used primers amoA1F/amoA2R (Rotthauwe et al., 1997), and were set up
following Mosier and Francis (2008) but with a 10 s detection step at 83
degress celsius. Each plate included a standard curve (5 to 10^6
copies/reaction) made by serial dilution of linearized plasmids extracted from
previously sequenced clones, and negative controls that substituted sterile
water for DNA. The diversity of ammonia oxidizing communities was determined
by cloning and sequencing of PCR-amplified amoA genes using primers Arch-amoAF
/Arch-amoAR (Francis et al., 2005) and amoA1F*/amoA2R (Rotthauwe et al., 1997;
Stephen et al., 1999) for AOA and AOB, respectively. Reaction conditions and
PCR programs followed previously published protocols (Mosier and Francis,
2008). Triplicate reactions were qualitatively checked by gel electrophoresis,
pooled, and purified using the MinElute PCR Purification Kit or MinElute Gel
Extraction Kit (Qiagen), following the manufacturer\\u2019s instructions.
Purified products were cloned using the pGEM-T Vector System II (Promega), and
sequenced by Elim Biopharmaceuticals on a 3730xl capillary sequencer (Life
Technologies). Sequences were imported into Geneious (version 6.1.6 created by
Biomatters, available from
[http://www.geneious.com](\\\\\"http://www.geneious.com\\\\\")) and manually cleaned
prior to operational taxonomic unit (OTU) grouping (greater than or equal to
95% sequence similarity) using mothur (Schloss et al., 2009). Rarefaction
curves and diversity/richness estimators (Chao1 and Shannon indices) were
calculated using mothur. OTUs were aligned with reference sequences using the
MUSCLE alignment package within Geneious, using a gap open score of \\u2013750.
Alignments were manually checked and used to build neighbor-joining bootstrap
trees (Jukes-Cantor distance model, 1000 neighbor joining bootstrap
replicates) within Geneious. The amoA sequences generated in this study have
been deposited into GenBank with accession numbers KM000240 to KM000508 (AOB)
and KM000509 to KM000784 (AOA).
Two-tailed Spearman rank correlation coefficients (\\u03c1) were calculated
using R (R Core Team, 2014) to determine correlations between variables, using
the suggested critical value of 0.786 for 5% significance with a sample size
of 7 (Zar, 1972). Principal component and non-metric multidimensional scaling
analyses were performed using the vegan package in R (Oksanen, 2013).
Environmental variables were z-transformed to standardize across different
scales and units by subtracting the population mean from each measurement and
dividing by the standard deviation. OTU count data were Hellinger-transformed
to standardize to relative abundances (Legendre and Legendre, 2012). Other
than unweighted UniFrac distances, which were calculated using the online
UniFrac portal (Lozupone et al., 2006), distance/dissimilarity indices were
calculated using the vegan package in R. All principle component analyses are
presented using scaling 1; therefore, the distance between sites on the biplot
represents their Euclidean distance, and the right-angle projection of a site
onto a descriptor vector shows the approximate position of that site on the
vector (Legendre and Legendre, 2012).\\u00a0";

Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an approach to chemical analysis that is accomplished by injecting a plug of sample into a flowing carrier stream. FIA is an automated method in which a sample is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution that mixes with other continuously flowing solutions before reaching a detector. Precision is dramatically increased when FIA is used instead of manual injections and as a result very specific FIA systems have been developed for a wide array of analytical techniques.";

"Description from the NSF award abstract:
This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
Although nitrogen (N) acts as a limiting nutrient in many marine ecosystems, from estuaries to the open ocean, N in excess can be extremely detrimental. Eutrophication is of particular concern in estuaries, with over half of the estuaries in the United States experiencing its effects. Harmful levels of N in estuaries can be diminished through tightly coupled processes in the microbial nitrogen cycle, including nitrification (chemoautotrophic oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate) and denitrification (the dissimilatory reduction of nitrate to N2 gas). In fact, coupled nitrification-denitrification can remove up to 50% of external dissolved inorganic nitrogen inputs to estuaries, thereby reducing the risk of eutrophication. Despite the biogeochemical importance of both nitrification and denitrification in estuarine systems, surprisingly little is known regarding the underlying microbial communities responsible for these processes, or how they are influenced by key physical/chemical factors.
The investigators will work in San Francisco Bay - the largest estuary on the west coast of the United States - using molecular, biogeochemical and cultivation approaches to explore how the distribution, diversity, abundance, and activities of key N-cycling communities are influenced by environmental gradients over temporal and spatial scales. Denitrifying communities will be studied using functional genes (nirK and nirS) encoding the key denitrification enzyme nitrite reductase, while genes encoding ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) will be used to study both ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and the recently-discovered ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA)- members of one of the most ubiquitous and abundant prokaryotic groups on the planet, the mesophilic Crenarchaeota. Analyzing sediments from sites spanning a range of physical and chemical conditions in the Bay, seasonally over the course of several years, will represent an unprecedented opportunity to examine spatial, physical/chemical, and temporal effects on both denitrifier and ammonia-oxidizer communities in this large, urban estuary. Concurrently, an intensive cultivation effort will also be undertaken, in order to compile a novel culture collection of estuarine denitrifiers and ammonia-oxidizers, for which virtually nothing is currently known. Taken together, these complimentary approaches will help reveal how complex physical/chemical gradients influence the diversity and functioning of key estuarine N-cycling communities over time and space.";

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.
