"Hydrolysis, derivatization and analyses of samples for CSIA \\u2013\\u00a0 For
Exps. 3-4, samples (1-2 mg dry weight) for CSIA-AA were added to 1 ml 6 N
HPLC-grade HCl, then flushed with N2, capped with a Teflon-lined cap, and
hydrolyzed at 150\\u00b0C for 70 min.\\u00a0 The resulting hydrolysate was
evaporated to dryness under N2 at 55\\u00b0C, redissolved in 1 ml 0.01 N HCl,
purified by filtration (0.45-\\u03bcm hydrophilic filter), washed with 1 ml of
0.01 N HCl, and further purified using cation-exchange chromatography with a
5-cm resin column (Dowex 50WX8-400) in a glass Pasteur pipette.\\u00a0 AAs were
eluted with 4 ml of 2 N NH4OH and evaporated to dryness under a stream of N2
at 80\\u00b0C, then reacidified with 0.5 ml of 0.2 N HCl, flushed with N2,
heated to 110\\u00b0C for 5 min and evaporated to dryness under N2 at
55\\u00b0C.\\u00a0 Hydrolyzed samples were esterified with 2 ml of 4:1
isopropanol:acetyl chloride, flushed with N2 and heated to 110\\u00b0C for 60
min.\\u00a0 After drying at 60\\u00b0C under N2, the samples were acylated by
adding 1 ml of 3:1 methylene chloride:trifluoracetic anhydride (TFAA) and
heated to 100\\u00b0C for 15 min.\\u00a0 The derivatized AAs were further
purified by solvent extraction following (Ueda et al. 1989).\\u00a0 The
acylated AA esters were evaporated at room temperature under N2 and
redissolved in 3 ml of 1:2 chloroform:P-buffer (KH2PO4 + Na2HPO4 in Milli-Q
water, pH 7).\\u00a0 Vigorous shaking ensured that the derivitized AAs were
partitioned into chloroform while contaminants remained in the P-buffer.\\u00a0
The solvents were separated by centrifugation (10 min at 600 g), the
chloroform was transferred to a clean vial, and the solvent extraction process
repeated.\\u00a0 Finally, to ensure derivatization, the acylation step was
repeated.\\u00a0 Samples were stored at \\u201320\\u00b0C in 3:1 methylene
chloride:TFAA for up to 2 weeks until analysis.\\u00a0 AA derivatives were then
analyzed by isotope monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.\\u00a0 We
used a Delta V Plus mass spectrometer interfaced with a Trace GC gas
chromatograph through a GC-C III combustion furnace (980\\u00b0C), reduction
furnace (650\\u00b0C), and liquid nitrogen cold trap.\\u00a0 Internal reference
compounds (aminoadipic acid and norleucine) of known nitrogen isotopic
composition were co-injected with samples and used to normalize the measured
\\u03b415N values of unknown AAs, and a suite of eight AAs with known isotopic
composition was analyzed every 3 injections for additional quality
control.\\u00a0 At least three injections per sample were analyzed.\\u00a0 For
Exps. 5 and 6, CSIA-AA samples were hydrolyzed in 6N HCl at 110\\u00b0C for 20
h.\\u00a0 The hydrolysate was evaporated to dryness at temperature under a
continuous stream of N2 gas, then esterified with 4:1 isotopropanol:acetyl
chloride at 110\\u00b0C for 60 min, acylated in a 1:1 solution of methylene
chloride:trifluoracetic anhydride (DCM:TFAA) for 10 min at 110\\u00b0C.\\u00a0
Samples were stored at -20\\u00b0C in 1:1 DCM:TFAA for up to 3 months before
isotope analysis using a Delta V Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific)
interfaced through a Conflo IV to a GC 1310 gas chromatograph coupled to a GC
Isolink combustion-reduction furnace (1000\\u00b0C) and liquid nitrogen cold
trap.\\u00a0 All samples were injected (splitless injector) onto a forte BPx5
capillary column (60 m x 0.32 mm x 1.0-\\u03bcm film thickness) at an injector
temperature of 250\\u00b0C with a constant helium flow rate of 1.4 ml
min\\u20131.\\u00a0 The column was initially held at 50\\u00b0C for 2 min and
then increased to 125 \\u00b0C at a rate of 15\\u00b0C min-1.\\u00a0 Once at
125\\u00b0C, the temperature was increased at a rate of 3\\u00b0C min-1 to
160\\u00b0C and then to 190\\u00b0C at a rate of 4\\u00b0C min-1.\\u00a0 The final
temperature of 300\\u00b0C was reached by ramping to 275\\u00b0C at 6\\u00b0C
min-1 and then 15\\u00b0C min-1 afterward.\\u00a0 Samples were analyzed in
triplicate and normalized to the known \\u03b415N values of a suite of 14 AAs
analyzed before and after each set of 3 samples.";

"Description from NSF award abstract:
Energy 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.
This 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.";

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").
