The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | The acetate and inorganic carbon uptake rates as determined via stable isotopic tracers from Maria S. Merian cruise MSM20-5 in 2012; data generated using the formation fluids recovered from CORKs installed at North Pond (NCEI Accession 0277279) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected on R/V Maria S. Merian during cruise MSM20-5 from 2012-04-11 to 2012-05-10. These data include dissolved organic Carbon and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Elemental Analyzer and Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by Peter Girguis of Harvard University, Julie Huber of Marine Biological Laboratory, and Brian Glazer of University of Hawaii at Manoa as part of the "Collaborative Research: Characterization of Microbial Transformations in Basement Fluids, from Genes to Geochemical Cycling (North Pond Microbes)" project and "Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI)" and "International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP)" programs. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: The acetate and inorganic carbon uptake rates as determined via stable isotopic tracers; data generated using the formation fluids recovered from the CORKs installed at the North Pond in 2012 Dataset Description: The acetate and inorganic carbon uptake rates as determined via stable isotopic tracers; data generated using the formation fluids recovered from the CORKs installed at the North Pond in 2012. The North Pond is an isolated, northeast-trending, ~8 km × 15 km sediment pond located on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at 22°45' N and 46°05' W. Details of these CORKS and their positions, construction and depth can be found in the Proceedings of the IODP expedition 336. See: http://publications.iodp.org/scientific_prospectus/336/336sp_6.htm In addition to NSF OCE-1061934 (to Girguis), this dataset was funded by C-DEBI (OCE-0939564) sub-award number 41940192 granted to Beate Kraft. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: To determine potential rates of autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism within crustal aquifer fluids and deep Atlantic bottom water, fluids were incubated with either 13C-labeled bicarbonate (autotrophy) or 13C-labeled acetate (heterotrophy). For this, 20 mL of freshly sampled fluids were injected into sterile, butyl stoppered Balch tubes using a 60 mL syringe and hypodermic needle using sterile technique. Overpressure was released by insertion of a second hypodermic needle. The tubes were pre-amended with a mix of either unlabeled bicarbonate and 10% 13C-labeled bicarbonate (to a final concentration of 1.8 mM NaHCO3 and 0.2 mM NaH13CO3) or unlabeled acetate and 10% 13C-labeled acetate (to a final concentration of 13.5 uM C2H3NaO2 and 1.5 uM 13C2H3NaO2). All tubes were additionally amended with resarzurin (20 uM final concentration) in order to follow the change in redox potential as a result of oxygen consumption throughout the incubation period. Sterile controls were set up as described above but with an additional filter (0.2 um pore size) inserted between the syringe outlet and the hypodermic needle. Tubes were incubated in the dark at either 5 or 25 degrees C. Incubations were stopped at distinct time intervals by addition of either 0.5 mL of a 1 M NaOH solution (for incubations with bicarbonate) or 5 mL of a 20% zinc acetate solution (for incubations with acetate). Tubes were stored at –20 degrees C until further processing. For analysis of 13C-labeled biomass, tubes were thawed and the residual pool of bicarbonate or acetate was removed by acidification to a pH of 2 by adding 25% HCl (molecular grade) while stirring and sparging with N2 for at least 30 minutes. The entire volume was then filtered through a pre-combusted glass fiber filter (25mm diameter, 0.7 um particle retention, Whatman, UK). The filters were dried in a desiccator overnight and stored at 5 degrees C until further processing. Filters were weighed into tin capsules and analyzed for 13C/12C ratios with an automated Isotope Cube elemental analyzer (Elementar, Germany) interfaced to a Delta Advantage isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Thermo, Germany). Rates of potential autotrophic metabolism (carbon fixation from 13C-labeled bicarbonate) and heterotrophic metabolism (degradation of 13C-labeled acetate) were calculated from δ13C of the carbon pool on the filters at the start and the end of the incubations (time intervals of not more than 13 days). For this, the transfer of 13C between pools was calculated, according to the following equation: δBiomass-Final · CBiomass-Final ·VFinal = (CBiomass-Initial · V · δBiomass-Initial) + (CTransferred· V · δLabel) where δ is the isotopic ratio ((Rsample/ Rstandard –1) · 1000), V is the volume of the incubation (20mL) and C is the concentration of carbon pool. For incubations with 13C-labeled bicarbonate we assumed a concentration of 2.3 mM endogenous dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in addition to the added mix of 13C-labeled bicarbonate, thus decreasing the amount of label in the substrate pool. For incubations with 13C-labeled acetate we assumed a concentration of 150 uM endogenous dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in addition to the added 13C-labeled acetate. |
