©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.A combination of pyrosequencing and QPCR approaches were used to examine rRNA:rDNA ratios, BrdU incorporating cells, and transcript types and amounts in the metatranscriptome of Sargasso Sea surface water. The investigators also used Micro-FISH to examine incorporation of thymidine, leucine, and PO4. Samples were collected in 2010 during the spring phytoplankton bloom when heterotrophic bacterial production is lowest and during the peak of bacterial production in summer.
