        <gco:CharacterString>Primary producer amino acid carbon isotopes Dataset Description:  Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This study was conducted at the University of Rhode Island (URI) Phytoplankton Culture Laboratory and Ocean Ecogeochemistry Isotope Laboratory.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A library of three species from each of four major eukaryotic microalgae classes - diatoms (Class Bacillariophyceae), dinoflagellates (Class Dinophyceae), raphidophytes (Class Raphidophyceae), and prasinophytes (Class Mamiellophyceae) - was generated from established laboratory culture lines in the URI microalgal libraries and the National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA; formerly CCMP). Cultures were grown in triplicate in either f/2 or L1 media created using 0.22-micrometer (µm) filtered, autoclaved Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island seawater. All seawater was collected at the same time and location to ensure consistent water conditions for all cultures. Cultures were grown in climate-controlled incubators under a light intensity of 55 ± 10 micromoles photons per square meter per second (µmol photons m-2 s-1) on a 12-hours:12-hours light:dark cycle. One species from each of the four Classes was grown in triplicate under three temperature treatments: 15° Celsius (C), 20°C, and 25°C. A microplate reader was used to obtain growth rates to target biomass collection. The Supplemental File &amp;quot;Stahl_et_al_2023_L&amp;amp;amp;O_BCO-DMO_Supplemental_DataSet.pdf&amp;quot; contains the identification and laboratory culture conditions for the four major groups of eukaryotic microalgae.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Once cultures reached sufficient density to obtain ~5 milligrams (mg) of dry weight needed for amino acid isotope analysis, cultures were gently vacuum filtered onto either 5 µm PETE membrane filters (Sterlitech), 2 µm PETE membrane filters (Sterlitech), or 0.22 µm PES membrane filters (Millipore Express PLUS) depending on the size of the species being filtered. Filtered biomass was frozen at -20°C, freeze dried for 72 hours, and homogenized prior to isotope analysis. Dried, homogenized samples were acid hydrolyzed in 6 N hydrochloric acid at 110°C for 20 hours, filtered through a 0.45 µm nylon syringe filter (Restek), and evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of N₂. Five µl of nor-leucine (Sigma-Aldrich) with a known δ13C value was added to each sample and standard as an internal calibration. Acid hydrolyzed samples were derivatized to N-trifluoroacetic acid isopropyl esters and the carbon isotope values of 13 individual amino acids were separated and analyzed on a BPX5 column (60 meters length, 0.32 millimeters internal diameter (ID), 1 µm film thickness) in a Thermo Trace 1310 gas chromatograph (GC) and analyzed on a Finnegan MAT Delta V Plus Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) interfaced to the GC through a GC-IsoLink II and reduction furnace (1000°C) at the University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography. Standardization of runs was achieved using intermittent pulses of a CO₂ reference gas of known isotopic value. Amino acid standards of known isotopic value were derivatized concurrently with samples and analyzed bracketing each sample. All samples were analyzed minimally in triplicate along with the amino acid mixed standard and a cyanobacteria working lab standard. Normalized &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;δ&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AAnorm&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; values were calculated using the following equation: &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;δ&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AAnorm&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; = &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;δ&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AA&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; - &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;δ&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;13&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;AAmean&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

Changes in ocean life, the environment, and the climate can influence the timing and composition of biological material that sinks to the sea floor. As this material sinks it is consumed by bottom-dwelling organisms such as deep-sea corals. Similar to tree rings, corals preserve a history of growth embedded in their skeletons, which can be analyzed using a new technique called microgeochemistry. This project is compiling a historic dataset from deep-sea corals spanning 50 years in the Gulf of Maine to understand how biological material sinking to the bottom has changed with time. Results from the coral analysis are being compared with archival samples of small planktonic crustaceans, copepods, to better understand the connection between productivity in the surface waters and the geochemical record in the coral tissue. A complementary modeling approach is identifying environmental and climatic drivers of decadal-scale oceanographic change with the sources and transformations of organic matter that connect the surface and the deep ocean. This cross-disciplinary project is unifying transformational research with broader impacts focused on science education and outreach that broaden the understanding of the links between climate, oceanography, and marine ecosystem response using a 50-year historical context. Two open-access, media-enhanced, and National curriculum standards-aligned educational lessons plans are being developed through partnerships with a science documentary filmmaker, K-12 teachers from RI and ME, and the PBS LearningMedia Program. The topics of these lesson plans are: 1) Deep-sea exploration: A window into the past and future, and 2) Changing food webs on a changing planet. The project's educational goals include training of three graduate students, career development of five early career researchers, and research experiences for undergraduates from underrepresented groups in STEM. The multi-faceted research and education effort is addressing a question described as highest priority in the Ocean Sciences by the National Research Council: How are ocean biogeochemical and physical processes linked to today's climate and its variability?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pelagic-benthic coupling regulates ocean production and food web dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, and climate feedback mechanisms through the export of surface production to the ocean interior. Yet access to long-term data sets of export production are scarce and urgently needed to test assumptions about 1) the sources and transformations of organic matter through different food web pathways, and 2) the variability of these processes across climatic, oceanographic, and ecological changes through time. The proposed work is testing key hypotheses about bottom-up mechanisms that link decadal-scale oceanographic changes in hydrography and biogeochemical cycling with phytoplankton community composition, zooplankton abundance and trophic dynamics, and the resulting composition of export production. Complementary approaches are generating multiple and independent 50+ year, annually resolved time series of phytoplankton community composition, zooplankton trophic dynamics, and export composition. Coral tissue and archived zooplankton samples are being analyzed using pioneering molecular geochemistry approaches to assess changes in diet related variation in primary production. Deep-sea corals are being collected using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and zooplankton are available through archival samples from a Gulf of Maine long-term monitoring program managed by NOAA. The stable isotope data are being integrated with additional data from existing long-standing ocean monitoring programs and incorporated into a unifying modeling approach to identify unique ecosystem states and their environmental drivers. The project is focused on Jordan Basin in the Gulf of Maine, which has a long history of oceanographic study and is experiencing significant changes due to climate warming, making it an ideal natural laboratory for testing hypotheses on drivers of change in the composition of exported organic matter, and the relative importance of primary (e.g., phyto-detritus) vs. secondary production (e.g., copepod fecal pellets), and large vs. small pelagic plankton dynamics.&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;This study was conducted at the University of Rhode Island (URI) Phytoplankton Culture Laboratory and Ocean Ecogeochemistry Isotope Laboratory.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A library of three species from each of four major eukaryotic microalgae classes - diatoms (Class Bacillariophyceae), dinoflagellates (Class Dinophyceae), raphidophytes (Class Raphidophyceae), and prasinophytes (Class Mamiellophyceae) - was generated from established laboratory culture lines in the URI microalgal libraries and the National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA; formerly CCMP). Cultures were grown in triplicate in either f/2 or L1 media created using 0.22-micrometer (µm) filtered, autoclaved Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island seawater. All seawater was collected at the same time and location to ensure consistent water conditions for all cultures. Cultures were grown in climate-controlled incubators under a light intensity of 55 ± 10 micromoles photons per square meter per second (µmol photons m-2 s-1) on a 12-hours:12-hours light:dark cycle. One species from each of the four Classes was grown in triplicate under three temperature treatments: 15° Celsius (C), 20°C, and 25°C. A microplate reader was used to obtain growth rates to target biomass collection. The Supplemental File &amp;quot;Stahl_et_al_2023_L&amp;amp;amp;O_BCO-DMO_Supplemental_DataSet.pdf&amp;quot; contains the identification and laboratory culture conditions for the four major groups of eukaryotic microalgae.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Once cultures reached sufficient density to obtain ~5 milligrams (mg) of dry weight needed for amino acid isotope analysis, cultures were gently vacuum filtered onto either 5 µm PETE membrane filters (Sterlitech), 2 µm PETE membrane filters (Sterlitech), or 0.22 µm PES membrane filters (Millipore Express PLUS) depending on the size of the species being filtered. Filtered biomass was frozen at -20°C, freeze dried for 72 hours, and homogenized prior to isotope analysis. Dried, homogenized samples were acid hydrolyzed in 6 N hydrochloric acid at 110°C for 20 hours, filtered through a 0.45 µm nylon syringe filter (Restek), and evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of N₂. Five µl of nor-leucine (Sigma-Aldrich) with a known δ13C value was added to each sample and standard as an internal calibration. Acid hydrolyzed samples were derivatized to N-trifluoroacetic acid isopropyl esters and the carbon isotope values of 13 individual amino acids were separated and analyzed on a BPX5 column (60 meters length, 0.32 millimeters internal diameter (ID), 1 µm film thickness) in a Thermo Trace 1310 gas chromatograph (GC) and analyzed on a Finnegan MAT Delta V Plus Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) interfaced to the GC through a GC-IsoLink II and reduction furnace (1000°C) at the University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography. Standardization of runs was achieved using intermittent pulses of a CO₂ reference gas of known isotopic value.

Instrument Name: plate reader Instrument Short Name:   Instrument Description: Plate readers (also known as microplate readers) are laboratory instruments designed to detect biological, chemical or physical events of samples in microtiter plates. They are widely used in research, drug discovery, bioassay validation, quality control and manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry and academic organizations. Sample reactions can be assayed in 6-1536 well format microtiter plates. The most common microplate format used in academic research laboratories or clinical diagnostic laboratories is 96-well (8 by 12 matrix) with a typical reaction volume between 100 and 200 uL per well. Higher density microplates (384- or 1536-well microplates) are typically used for screening applications, when throughput (number of samples per day processed) and assay cost per sample become critical parameters, with a typical assay volume between 5 and 50 µL per well. Common detection modes for microplate assays are absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and fluorescence polarization.
