        <gco:CharacterString>16S V4 rRNA gene tag sequences from reef seawater Dataset Description:  Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples were collected in two reef systems, the Florida Reef Tract in June of 2019 and off the southern coast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in Februrary of 2020. See Supplemental File, &amp;quot;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/docs/305/Quantitative_coral_microbiomes/data_docs/sampling_locations.csv&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;sampling_locations.csv&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;quot; for latitude, longitude, depth, and dates of each sampling location. A total of 3 reef sites at each reef system&amp;amp;nbsp;were sampled. At each reef site, three 10 meter transects were taken by laying down a 10 meter weighted line that was marked every meter. Water samples were taken by a diver using a 60 or 100 mL syringe positioned approximately 5 mm above the benthos at each meter line. The transects were laid haphazardly, but did not intersect with each other. Because of inclement conditions, only 1 transect was collected at Site 73, rather than the intended 3. To capture the seawater microbial community, 60 mL of the seawater was filtered through a 0.22 µm Supor filter (25 mm; Pall Corporation). Filters were placed in 2 mL cryovials, flash frozen in a liquid nitrogen dry shipper, and processed upon return to Woods Hole, MA.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;DNA was extracted from the filters using the DNEasy PowerBiofilm Kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer protocols. Seven DNA extraction controls, consisting of unused 0.22 µm filter, were processed alongside samples. Primers 515F (Parada et al. 2016) and 806R (Apprill et al. 2015) containing Nextera adapter sequences were used to amplify the V4 region of the small subunit rRNA gene in bacteria and archaea.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;PCR reactions contained 14.75 µL molecular grade water, 5 µL GoTaq Flexi 5X buffer (Promega Corporation), 2.5 µL of 25 mM MgCl2, 1 µL of 10 mM dNTPs, 1 µL of 10 mM forward and reverse primers, 0.5 µL GoTaq DNA polymerase (Promega). Three PCR controls consisting of 1 µL of PCR-grade water was also included, as well as microbial genomic DNA from a Human Microbiome Project mock community (BEI Resources, NIAID, NIH as part of the Human Microbiome Project: Genomic DNA from Microbial Mock Community B (Even, Low Concentration), v5.1L, for 16S RNA Gene Sequencing, HM-782D). The first stage PCR conditions were: 28 cycles (95°C 20s, 55°C 20s, 72°C 5 min) with a 2 minute 95°C hot start and 10 min 72°C final elongation. PCR products were screened for quality using gel electrophoresis and purified using the MinElute PCR purification kit (Qiagen). PCR products were then barcoded using the Nextera XT Index Kit v2 primers (Illumina) using the following conditions: 8 cycles (95°C 30s, 55°C 30s, 72°C 30s) with 3 minute 95° hot start and 5 minute 72°C final elongation. Barcoded products were purified as above and concentrations of the purified products were assessed using the HS dsDNA assay on the Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific). Products were diluted with Tris HCl to 5 nM before being pooled randomly into two libraries. The libraries were diluted to a final loading concentration of 50 pM with a 5% spike-in of 50 pM PhiX. The libraries were then sequenced on the iSeq 100 System (Illumina).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

Corals are the architectural base of reefs, one of the most biodiverse and ecologically complex ocean ecosystems that also provide substantial economic resources to coastal communities. Unfortunately, recent episodes of widespread bleaching and disease have reduced coral populations and contributed to declines in reef ecosystems. There is speculation that the coral microbiome, including a community of bacteria and archaea, may provide added resistance and resilience to corals facing pathogens and warmer ocean conditions. However, there are no quantitatively methods available to track specific microbial lineages within coral microbiomes, thus limiting the ability to examine these concepts. This research will improve capabilities to quantitatively measure and track specific microbial lineages within the coral microbiome. Coral reefs are one of the most globally threatened ecosystems in the ocean. The project will provide methodological advancements that will enhance understanding about the response of coral microbiomes to warming, disease and environmental-related disturbance. These efforts will help provide a necessary knowledge framework for scientists, reef managers and decision makers who are urgently exploring solutions to prevent the further decline of coral reef ecosystems. The team will communicate project findings broadly through publicly accessible narratives shared through press releases and an online magazine. This project will promote data sharing and collaboration amongst coral microbiome scientists, through a data sharing and visualization portal. The project will train undergraduate and graduate students and will be led by two female PIs (one Hispanic).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This research has the potential to transform our current ability to quantify ecological changes within coral microbiomes and to understand and predict how coral-associated microbes may be able to contribute to the resilience and resistance of corals to warming, disease and environmental change related stressors on reefs. This project will contribute methodological and resource contributions that will advance knowledge and studies of coral microbiomes as well as other host-microbiome systems. Specifically, the team plans to develop and test two types of controls, 1) spike-in microbial cells and 2) a coral microbiome specific mock community. These methods will be used to address the following hypothesis: improved quantitative descriptions of coral microbiome dynamics in relation to relevant scenarios of change are obtained using spike-in controls and coral-specific mock communities. To address this, the investigators will develop endogenous spike-in controls of bacteria and archaea to track microbial load or abundance within samples and construct a coral microbiome mock community to optimize PCR, sequencing and data analysis. These methods will first be optimized in a replicated experimental manner across healthy, nonstressed and ecologically and phylogenetically diverse coral species. Next, optimized methods will be applied to coral samples from experiments, which are expected to show changes in microbiome dynamics over time. These experiments include scenarios of thermal stress, reef environmental change, and disease development. These experiments will take place in Little Cayman, a location with reefs with contrasting temperature and other environmental properties, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, a site of a recent coral disease outbreak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Samples were collected in two reef systems, the Florida Reef Tract in June of 2019 and off the southern coast of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in Februrary of 2020. See Supplemental File, &amp;quot;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/docs/305/Quantitative_coral_microbiomes/data_docs/sampling_locations.csv&amp;quot; target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot;&amp;gt;sampling_locations.csv&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;quot; for latitude, longitude, depth, and dates of each sampling location. A total of 3 reef sites at each reef system&amp;amp;nbsp;were sampled. At each reef site, three 10 meter transects were taken by laying down a 10 meter weighted line that was marked every meter. Water samples were taken by a diver using a 60 or 100 mL syringe positioned approximately 5 mm above the benthos at each meter line. The transects were laid haphazardly, but did not intersect with each other. Because of inclement conditions, only 1 transect was collected at Site 73, rather than the intended 3. To capture the seawater microbial community, 60 mL of the seawater was filtered through a 0.22 µm Supor filter (25 mm; Pall Corporation). Filters were placed in 2 mL cryovials, flash frozen in a liquid nitrogen dry shipper, and processed upon return to Woods Hole, MA.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;DNA was extracted from the filters using the DNEasy PowerBiofilm Kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer protocols. Seven DNA extraction controls, consisting of unused 0.22 µm filter, were processed alongside samples. Primers 515F (Parada et al. 2016) and 806R (Apprill et al. 2015) containing Nextera adapter sequences were used to amplify the V4 region of the small subunit rRNA gene in bacteria and archaea.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;PCR reactions contained 14.75 µL molecular grade water, 5 µL GoTaq Flexi 5X buffer (Promega Corporation), 2.5 µL of 25 mM MgCl2, 1 µL of 10 mM dNTPs, 1 µL of 10 mM forward and reverse primers, 0.5 µL GoTaq DNA polymerase (Promega). Three PCR controls consisting of 1 µL of PCR-grade water was also included, as well as microbial genomic DNA from a Human Microbiome Project mock community (BEI Resources, NIAID, NIH as part of the Human Microbiome Project: Genomic DNA from Microbial Mock Community B (Even, Low Concentration), v5.1L, for 16S RNA Gene Sequencing, HM-782D). The first stage PCR conditions were: 28 cycles (95°C 20s, 55°C 20s, 72°C 5 min) with a 2 minute 95°C hot start and 10 min 72°C final elongation. PCR products were screened for quality using gel electrophoresis and purified using the MinElute PCR purification kit (Qiagen). PCR products were then barcoded using the Nextera XT Index Kit v2 primers (Illumina) using the following conditions: 8 cycles (95°C 30s, 55°C 30s, 72°C 30s) with 3 minute 95° hot start and 5 minute 72°C final elongation. Barcoded products were purified as above and concentrations of the purified products were assessed using the HS dsDNA assay on the Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific). Products were diluted with Tris HCl to 5 nM before being pooled randomly into two libraries. The libraries were diluted to a final loading concentration of 50 pM with a 5% spike-in of 50 pM PhiX. The libraries were then sequenced on the iSeq 100 System (Illumina).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

The device has a thermal block with holes where tubes with the PCR reaction mixtures can be inserted. The cycler then raises and lowers the temperature of the block in discrete, pre-programmed steps. They can also be used to facilitate other temperature-sensitive reactions, including restriction enzyme digestion or rapid diagnostics.
