Microbial enzyme activities: peptidase activities of sediment samples from the RV\Polarstern cruise ARKXXVII/3 in the Central Arctic Ocean and Laptev Sea, Aug-Sept. 2012 (NCEI Accession 0292005)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains data collected on R/V Polarstern during cruise ARK-XXVII-3 from 2012-08-09 to 2012-09-22. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD profiler, Centrifuge, Fluorometer, and Multi Corer. These data were collected by Carol Arnosti of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as part of the "Latitudinal and depth-related contrasts in enzymatic capabilities of pelagic microbial communities: Predictable patterns in the ocean? (Patterns of activities)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-04-27.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

ARK27-3: sediment MCA

Dataset Description:
This dataset includes peptidase hydrolysis rates from sediments to measure microbial enzyme activities. Links to archived CTD data are also provided. Five substrates linked to a 7-amido-4-methyl coumarin (MCA) fluorophore, one amino acid – leucine – and four oligopeptides – the chymotrypsin substrates alanine-alanine-phenylalanine (AAF) and alanine-alanine-proline-phenylalanine (AAPF), and the trypsin substrates glutamine-alanine-arginine (QAR) and glutamic acid-gylcine-arginine (EGR) – were used to measure exo- and endo-acting peptidase activities, respectively.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Surficial sediments were collected using a multi-corer.

Five substrates linked to a 7-amido-4-methyl coumarin (MCA) fluorophore, one amino acid – leucine – and four oligopeptides – the chymotrypsin substrates alanine-alanine-phenylalanine (AAF) and alanine-alanine-proline-phenylalanine (AAPF), and the trypsin substrates glutamine-alanine-arginine (QAR) and glutamic acid-gylcine-arginine (EGR) – were used to measure exo- and endo-acting peptidase activities, respectively. Hydrolysis rates of the substrates were measured as an increase in fluorescence as the fluorophore was hydrolyzed from the substrate over time [as in Hoppe, 1993; Obayashi and Suzuki, 2005]. For sediment measurements, peptidase activities were measured in a 1:2 (vol: vol) sediment: autoclaved seawater slurry. 100 micromolar concentrations of substrate were added to triplicate live and single autoclaved killed control incubations. 2 ml of slurry was centrifuged at each timepoint (0, 1h ,2h, and 4 h), filtered, and diluted with 1 ml borate buffer; fluorescence was measured in a 4 ml cuvette. Hydrolysis rates were calculated from the rate of increase of fluorescence in the incubation over time relative to a set of standards of known concentration of fluorophore.

All incubations were conducted at 0 C in the dark.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
