©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Images corresponding to some of the samples that underwent 16S and 18S V4 amplicon sequencing of microbial communities in sinking particles collected during R/V Atlantic Explorer cruises AE1718 and AE1809 in 2017 and 2018 at BATS in Bermuda. These data were published in Neuer et al. (2021).
Methodology:
Particles to be subjected to prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial community analyses were imaged whilst embedded within polyacrylamide gels. Images were taken at various magnifications and calibrated using a 1.0 mm object micrometer slide. Particles were subsequently picked, pooled, and subjected to DNA extraction and microbial community analyses as outlined in the Methods text in Neuer et al. (2021).
Although 8 particles were pooled per sample, a limited number of particles were imaged. Magnification metadata is not available for sample PA_150m_Fall.
