Title: Microbial cell counts in seawater samples collected on R/V Nerissa and R/V Yellowfin cruises at the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT) in 2017 (NCEI Accession 0277696)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on R/V Nerissa and R/V Yellowfin during cruises SPOT_Nerissa_Cruises_2017 and SPOT_Yellowfin_Cruises in the North Pacific Ocean from 2017-03-15 to 2017-12-15. These data include abundance and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Flow Cytometer and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Sergio A. Sanudo-Wilhelmy of University of Southern California as part of the "The role of organic and metal cofactors on the biogenic synthesis of halogenated volatile hydrocarbons (Volatile_Hydrocarbons)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-01-04.

Microbial cell counts in seawater samples from SPOT cruises in 2017

Dataset Description:
Acquisition Description:
Samples for microbial cell counts were collected at six depths within the euphotic zone (5-250 m). Seawater was collected from each CTD depth using Niskin bottles, immediately fixed with formalin 2% (0.72% formaldehyde final concentration), and immediately frozen at -80C. Autotrophic picoplankton (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotes) and heterotrophic prokaryotes were enumerated by flow cytometry (Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur) (Gasol and del Giorgio, 2000).
