String acquisition_description
"Grab samples were taken using Niskin bottles that collected seawater at the
same depth and location of the Environmental Sample Processor deployed at
Station M0 (36.835 N, 121.901W). Water was transferred to a low-density
polyethylene cubitainer and maintained at ambient temperature until return to
lab within 30 min.
Chlorophyll a: 150 ml of seawater was filtered through a 25 mm GF/F filter in
triplicate using a vacuum pump and <5 in Hg pressure. The filter was placed in
a glass scintillation vial and 10 ml of 90% acetone was added and placed in
-20 freezer for at least 24 hours to extract the pigment. Extracted
chlorophyll a was quantified using fluorometry (Pennington and Chavez, 2000).
Flow Cytometry: Cubitainer seawater was transferred to a 50 ml Falcon tube
using laminar flow. 1.8 ml was then aliquoted to triplicate cryovials and
preserved with 200 ul of 5% glutaraldehyde and stored at -80 degrees C.
Analysis was run on a Beckman Coulter Altra flow cytometer for detection of
DNA, pigments, and forward and side light scatter (Monger and Landry, 1993).
Akashiwo Microscopy Counts: 7 - 14 ml of seawater was preserved to 1% final
concentration electron microscopy grade glutaraldehyde and stored at 4 degrees
C. Slides were made by filtering the full volume onto a 0.22 um black
polycarbonate filter (GE Water & Process Technologies) using a vacuum pump (<5
in Hg), and cells were counted under epifluorescence microscopy.
DMSP concentrations: Immediately upon return to the deck, duplicate samples
were collected from the Niskin bottle for in situ dissolved DMSP (DMSPd) (see
details below) before seawater transfer to the cubitainer. Upon return to the
laboratory, the cubitainer of water was gently mixed by inversion and three
replicate 10 ml sub-samples were removed by pipette into individual 15 ml
centrifuge tubes (Corning, polypropylene). The samples were immediately
acidified with 0.3 ml of 50% concentrated HCl (1.5% final concentration of
concentrated HCl) to preserve total DMSP (dissolved plus particulate). These
DMSPt samples were closed tightly and stored until analysis (described below)
which took place within three months of collection.\\u00a0
DMSPd consumption: To measure the consumption rate of dissolved DMSP, we used
the glycine betaine (GBT) inhibition technique (Kiene & Gerard, 1995; Li et
al., 2016). Immediately upon return to the laboratory, six 500 ml glass
bottles were filled with seawater from the gently-mixed cubitainer. Three of
the bottles were treated with 25 ul of a 100 mM GBT anhydrous reagent (Sigma)
solution (10 uM final GBT concentration), and three were left untreated as
controls. Bottles were incubated in seawater maintained within 1 degree C of
the in situ temperature. Immediately after GBT addition, the first time point
was collected by simultaneously filtering ~50 ml sub-samples from each bottle
through 47 mm Whatman GF/F filters using the small volume gravity drip
filtration protocol of Kiene and Slezak (2006). The first\\u00a03.5 ml of
filtrate from each sample was collected into 15 ml centrifuge tubes (Corning,
polypropylene) that contained 100 ul of 50% HCl to immediately preserve any
DMSP passing through the GF/F filter, which is defined as dissolved DMSP
(DMSPd). Additional time points from each bottle were collected at 3 and 6 h.
The rate of change of DMSPd in no-treatment bottles was subtracted from the
rate of change in the +GBT bottles to obtain an estimate of DMSPd consumption
rate (Kiene and Gerard, 1995).
< 5 \\u00b5m DMSPd: The DMSP that was less than 5 \\u00b5m was measured in water
from the cubitainer in the lab, using the drip filtration protocol, as
described above for DMSPd, except that a 5.0 \\u00b5m pore size, track-etched
polycarbonate filter was used for the filtration.
DMSP Analysis: DMSP was quantified by proxy as the amount of DMS released from
samples after alkaline cleavage (White, 1982). For DMSPt, 0.05 to 0.5 ml of
each preserved sample was pipetted into a 14 ml glass serum vial, with the
volume being adjusted based on the concentration of DMSPt in the sample. For
DMSPd, the volume pipetted was 1.0 to 3.0 ml. Each serum vial was treated with
1 ml of 5 M NaOH and capped with a Teflon-faced serum stopper (Wheaton). After
1 h, the amount of DMS in each vial was quantified by purge and trap gas
chromatography with flame photometric detection. Briefly, each vial was
attached to the purge system and a flow of helium (90-100 ml per minute)
allowed bubbling of the solution. An excurrent needle led to a Nafion dryer
and six-port valve (Valco). The DMS in the samples was cryotrapped in a Teflon
tubing loop immersed in liquid nitrogen. After a 4 min sparge, during which
>99% of the DMS in the samples was removed, hot water replaced the liquid
nitrogen to introduce the DMS into the Shimadzu GC-2014 gas chromatograph.
Separation of the sulfur gases was achieved with a Chromosil 330 column
(Supelco; Sigma) maintained at 60 degrees C with a helium carrier flow of 25
ml per minute. The flame photometric detector was operated in sulfur mode and
maintained at 175 degrees C. Minimum detection limits during this study were
0.5 to 1 pmol DMS per sample with minimum detectable concentrations ranging
from 0.17 to 10 nM, depending on the volume analyzed. The GC-FPD system was
calibrated with a gas stream containing known amounts of DMS from a permeation
system.

acid addition not measured but estimated from samples with similar total
fluorescence (Pennington and Chavez, 2000).";

"Surface ocean bacterioplankton preside over a divergence point in the marine sulfur cycle where the fate of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is determined. While it is well recognized that this juncture influences the fate of sulfur in the ocean and atmosphere, its regulation by bacterioplankton is not yet understood. Based on recent findings in biogeochemistry, bacterial physiology, bacterial genetics, and ocean instrumentation, the microbial oceanography community is poised to make major advances in knowledge of this control point. This research project is ascertaining how the major taxa of bacterial DMSP degraders in seawater regulate DMSP transformations, and addresses the implications of bacterial functional, genetic, and taxonomic diversity for global sulfur cycling.
The project is founded on the globally important function of bacterial transformation of the ubiquitous organic sulfur compound DMSP in ocean surface waters. Recent genetic discoveries have identified key genes in the two major DMSP degradation pathways, and the stage is now set to identify the factors that regulate gene expression to favor one or the other pathway during DMSP processing. The taxonomy of the bacteria mediating DMSP cycling has been deduced from genomic and metagenomic sequencing surveys to include four major groups of surface ocean bacterioplankton. How regulation of DMSP degradation differs among these groups and maps to phylogeny in co-occurring members is key information for understanding the marine sulfur cycle and predicting its function in a changing ocean. Using model organism studies, microcosm experiments (at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, AL), and time-series field studies with an autonomous sample collection instrument (at Monterey Bay, CA), this project is taking a taxon-specific approach to decipher the regulation of bacterial DMSP degradation.
This research addresses fundamental questions of how the diversity of microbial life influences the geochemical environment of the oceans and atmosphere, linking the genetic basis of metabolic potential to taxonomic diversity. The project is training graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in microbial biodiversity and providing research opportunities and mentoring for undergraduate students. An outreach program is enhance understanding of the role and diversity of marine microorganisms in global elemental cycles among high school students. Advanced Placement Biology students are participating in marine microbial research that covers key learning goals in the AP Biology curriculum. Two high school students are selected each year for summer research internships in PI laboratories.";

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.
