Collaborative Research: Resolving the production and fate of nitrogenous metabolites in the surface ocean https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/858734 Collaborative Research: Resolving the production and fate of nitrogenous metabolites in the surface ocean <p><em>NSF Award Abstract:</em><br /> Photosynthetic microbes provide food for nearly all other life in the ocean. Their metabolism produces organic molecules called metabolites that can leak out of cells, be intentionally excreted into seawater, or be released during cell death. Once outside the cell, these metabolites are the basis for specific interactions among microbes and determine community structure and activity. Yet, current understanding of metabolites in the ocean is limited by a historical lack of ability to measure them. The work proposed here will expand current knowledge of metabolite structures, concentrations, and production rates using recently developed analytical methods. These methods have already led to the discovery that homarine, a substituted pyridine first found in lobster in 1933, is the most abundant detectable metabolite in microbial communities of the North Pacific Ocean. While homarine is known as a predator deterrent, osmoprotectant, methyl donor, and antibiofouling agent, studies of its role in microbial community dynamics are lacking. The work proposed will clarify the role of homarine in the ocean’s microbial communities. This work will create an open-source metabolite database that will serve the broader field of metabolomics, a growing area in environmental, engineering, and medical sciences. This collaboration will also promote the careers of a graduate student and a postdoctoral researcher as well as an early career professor from an underrepresented group at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). Undergraduates from both institutions will contribute to project development and implementation, local cruises on the R.V. Carson, lab work, and dissemination of results. This research will be integrated into a curriculum-based research experience for undergraduates in a 200-level genetics course at the PUI, University of Puget Sound.</p> <p>The proposed work will carry out field studies and laboratory experiments to test the hypothesis that metabolites are quantitatively significant forms of carbon and nitrogen flowing through microbial communities. The identity, quantity, and production rates of metabolites will also be determined. For homarine, the enzymes and organisms responsible for its transformations will be determined. Specific proposed activities will 1) Quantify nitrogenous metabolite pools and their net production rates (particulate and dissolved) in phytoplankton cultures and in marine surface water communities; 2) Isolate homarine consuming heterotrophic bacteria and use mutagenesis techniques, transcriptomics, and stable isotope assisted metabolomics to annotate genes and characterize the biochemical reactions involved in the degradation of homarine; 3) Carry out incubations of stable isotope labeled homarine in phytoplankton cultures, heterotrophic bacterial cultures sensitive to homarine, and natural communities to quantitatively evaluate the effect of homarine on growth, track homarine through metabolic pathways, and determine the kinetics of homarine uptake; 4) Identify homarine consumers and biochemical pathways for homarine use in the environment by mining existing environmental metatranscriptomes for homarine catabolism genes. The combination of these approaches will provide better understanding of the flow of nitrogen containing metabolites through marine microbial ecosystems. Results from this work will be disseminated through peer reviewed open-source publications as well as presentations to the scientific community and the general public.</p> <p>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.</p> Nitrogenous Metabolites largerWorkCitation project eng; USA oceans Seattle, WA -123.40608 -122.37444 47.2767 48.82716 2022-06-03 2025-06-22 0 BCO-DMO catalogue of parameters from CTD profiles of temperature, oxygen, salinity, fluorescence, beam attenuation and transmission, PAR, and pH collected in the Salish Sea on R/V Rachel Carson cruises RC0078, RC0104, and RC0138 during 2022, 2023 and 2025 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) Unavailable 508-289-2009 WHOI MS#36 Woods Hole MA 02543 USA info@bco-dmo.org http://www.bco-dmo.org Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm For questions regarding this resource, please contact BCO-DMO via the email address provided. pointOfContact http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997386.rdf Name: Date Units: unitless Description: <p>Date of CTD casts (UTC)</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997387.rdf Name: Cruise Units: unitless Description: <p>Cruise ID</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997388.rdf Name: Station Units: unitless Description: <p>Cruise station number</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997389.rdf Name: LAT Units: decimal degrees Description: <p>Latitude, positive is North</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997391.rdf Name: LON Units: decimal degrees Description: <p>Longitude, negative is West</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997393.rdf Name: Cast Units: unitless Description: <p>Station cast number</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997394.rdf Name: PRS Units: db Description: <p>Pressure</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997395.rdf Name: Depth Units: meters Description: <p>Depth</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997397.rdf Name: TMP Units: degrees Celsius Description: <p>Temperature (ITS-90)</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997398.rdf Name: SAL Units: PSU Description: <p>Salinity, Practical</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997399.rdf Name: OXY Units: milligrams per liter (mg/l) Description: <p>Oxygen, SBE 43</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997400.rdf Name: OXYsat Units: milligrams per liter (mg/l) Description: <p>Oxygen saturation, Garcia &amp; Gordon</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997401.rdf Name: Beam_Attenuation Units: per meter Description: <p>Beam attenuation</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997402.rdf Name: Beam_Transmission Units: percent Description: <p>Beam transmission</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997403.rdf Name: Fluorescence Units: milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m^3) Description: <p>Fluorescence, WET Labs ECO-AFL/FL</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997404.rdf Name: PAR Units: micromoles photons per square meter per second (umol photons/m^2/s^1) Description: <p>PAR/ Irradiance, Biospherical/Licor</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997405.rdf Name: pH Units: unitless Description: <p>pH</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997406.rdf Name: filename_cnv Units: unitless Description: <p>Original SBE .cnv CTD profile file name with one meter bins</p> http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/997407.rdf Name: filename_csv Units: unitless Description: <p>Filename of .csv files converted from the Original SBE .cnv CTD profile files with one meter bins</p> GB/NERC/BODC > British Oceanographic Data Centre, Natural Environment Research Council, United Kingdom Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) Unavailable 508-289-2009 WHOI MS#36 Woods Hole MA 02543 USA info@bco-dmo.org http://www.bco-dmo.org Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm For questions regarding this resource, please contact BCO-DMO via the email address provided. pointOfContact https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/dataset/997362/data/download download onLine dataset &lt;p&gt;CTD data were collected from the near surface to 5-10 m off the seafloor&amp;nbsp;in the Salish Sea on R/V Rachel Carson cruises RC0078, RC0104, and RC0138 during 2022, 2023 and 2025.
