Title: Estimated abundances of viruses and bacteria determined in samples collected in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) on R/V New Horizon cruise NH1315 during June 2013 (NCEI Accession 0278126)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on R/V New Horizon during cruise NH1315 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2013-06-19 to 2013-06-22. These data include abundance and depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Fluorescence Microscope and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Jennifer R. Brum of University of Arizona as part of the "Ecology and biogeochemical impacts of viruses in marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZ Viruses)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-09-16.

Samples were collected from the Eastern Tropical North Pacific oxygen minimum zone region (ETNP OMZ) during the OMZ Microbial Biogeochemistry Expedition cruise (R/V NewHorizon,13-28 June 2013). Seawater was collected from 16 depths spanning the mixed layer, oxycline, OMZ core, and below the OMZ. Collections were made using Niskin bottles on a rosette. Samples were preserved with EM-grade glutaraldehyde (2% final concentration), flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored between -72 °C and -80 °C until analysis.

Viral and bacterial concentrations were determined based on a previously described method (Noble and Fuhrman, 1998) in which thawed samples were filtered onto 0.02-μm- pore-size filters (Anodisc, Whatman, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA), stained with SYBR Gold nucleic acid stain (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and enumerated using an epifluorescence microscope (Axio Imager. D2, Zeiss, Jena, Germany).
