Normalized oxygen from incubations conducted with methylcyclohexane using samples collected from the Gulf of Mexico during June 2015 on R/V Atlantis cruise AT29-02
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon incubations were conducted with water collected from 1000 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico across four stations during cruise AT29-02 on the R/V Atlantis. Sample collection occurred June 16-17, 2015. Each incubation was injected with 10 microliters of methylcyclohexane (MCH) or methylcyclopentane (MCP). Each incubation was monitored for oxygen content using remote optical oxygen sensors. After we observed a respiration signal, we sacrificially harvested each bottle for cell counts, nutrients, and DNA. Incubation time varied from 10-31 days. These data were used to assess who consumes these compounds in the deep Gulf of Mexico, over what time frame, and what metabolic pathways bacteria use to consume them. This dataset includes the normalized oxygen measurements from the MCH incubations.
