Methods & Sampling

Sampling and analytical procedures: Samples (15 mL) were collected from hydrographic casts with Niskin bottles on a CTD-rosette for live ship-board and preserved shore-based flow cytometry analyses for profiles of phytoplankton and heterotrophic (non-pigmented) bacteria abundance. Live samples (~800 uL) were analyzed within 2 hours of collection (and usually sooner), kept in the dark at room temperature prior to analysis. Samples (2 mL) for shore-based analyses were aliquoted into cryovials, preserved with a final concentration of 0.5% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, methanol-free), then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. After freezing, samples were transferred to a -80°C freezer. Upon completion of the cruise, samples were transferred to a charged dry shipper for transport to the University of Hawaii. Samples were thawed in batches, stained with the DNA stain Hoechst 34580 for 1 hour (1 ug/ml, final concentration), then quantitatively analyzed (100 uL).

Instruments

Flow Cytometer

Supplied Name: Becton Dickinson Accuri C6 Plus with CSampler Plus

Supplied Description:

Used for cell counts on board ship.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Flow Cytometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB37/

Generic Description:

Flow cytometers (FC or FCM) are automated instruments that quantitate properties of single cells, one cell at a time. They can measure cell size, cell granularity, the amounts of cell components such as total DNA, newly synthesized DNA, gene expression as the amount messenger RNA for a particular gene, amounts of specific surface receptors, amounts of intracellular proteins, or transient signalling events in living cells.
