MetaboLights MTBLS428 - GNPS "Dissolved organic carbon compounds in deep-sea hydrothermal vent fluids"

ABSTRACT: This data set was downloaded from MetaboLights (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/) accession number MTBLS428 Abstract:"Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are unique ecosystems that may provide chemically distinct dissolved organic matter to the deep ocean. Here, we describe the types and concentrations of polar dissolved organic compounds observed at low and high temperature hydrothermal vents at 9°50’N, the East Pacific Rise. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon was 46 µM in the low temperature hydrothermal fluids and 14 µM in the high temperature hydrothermal fluids. In the low temperature vent fluids, identifiable dissolved organic compounds were dominated by water-soluble vitamins and amino acids. Derivatives of benzoic acid and the organic sulfur compound 2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate (DHPS) were also present in low and high temperature hydrothermal fluids. Thus, low temperature vent fluids contain organic compounds that are central to biological processes, suggesting that they are a by-product of subseafloor biological activity. These compounds may fuel heterotrophic, metabolic processes at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and beyond."

Project description:Relatively little is known about the presence and regulation of pathways involved in nutrient acquisition in the brown tide forming alga, Aureococcus anophagefferens. In this study, Long-SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression) was used to profile the A. anophagefferens transcriptome under nutrient replete (control), and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiency with the goal of understanding how this organism responds at the transcriptional level to varying nutrient conditions. This approach has aided A. anophagefferens genome annotation efforts and identified a suite of genes up-regulated by N and P deficiency, some of which have known roles in nutrient metabolism. Genes up-regulated under N deficiency include an ammonium transporter, an acetamidase/formamidase, and two peptidases. This suggests an ability to utilize reduced N compounds and dissolved organic nitrogen, supporting the hypothesized importance of these N sources in A. anophagefferens bloom formation. There are also a broad suite of P-regulated genes, including an alkaline phosphatase, and two 5’-nucleotidases, suggesting A. anophagefferens may use dissolved organic phosphorus under low phosphate conditions. These N- and P-regulated genes may be important targets for exploring nutrient controls on bloom formation in field populations. Aureococcus anophagefferens CCMP 1984 was obtained from the Provasoli-Guillard Center for the Culture of Marine Phytoplankton (CCMP). The cultures were grown at 18C on a 14 h:10 h light:dark cycle (140 µmol quanta m-2 s-1). Nitrogen- and phosphate-replete (883 µM NO3- and 36.3 µM PO43-) cells, –N (40 µM NO3-) cells, and –P (1 µM PO43-) cells were grown in autoclaved L1 media with no Si (Guillard and Hargraves 1993), prepared using 0.2 µm filtered Vineyard Sound seawater. Vitamins (thiamine, biotin, and B12) were sterile filtered and added to the media after autoclaving. Replete cells were harvested during mid log phase of growth, while –N and –P cells were harvested at the onset of stationary phase when N or P was depleted.
