Kellogg, Dawn B. Goldsmith and Michael A. Gray entitled "Biogeographic comparison of Lophelia-associated bacterial communities in the western Atlantic reveals conserved core microbiome". They represent a 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene amplicon survey of the coral’s microbiomes completed using Roche 454 pyrosequencing with Titanium series reagents. Samples from the Gulf of Mexico were collected in 2009 and 2010. Samples from the Atlantic Ocean were collected in 2009. The raw data files associated with this study have also been submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under Bioproject number PRJNA305617. Minimum information about a marker gene (MIMARKS) compliant metadata is provided in "Lophelia metadata", which is included in the data download file.

Purpose: Over the last decade, publications on deep-sea corals have tripled. Most attention has been paid to Lophelia pertusa, a globally distributed scleractinian coral that creates critical three-dimensional habitat in the deep ocean. The bacterial community associated with L. pertusa has been previously described by a number of studies at sites in the Mediterranean Sea, Norwegian fjords, off the shore of Great Britain, and in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM); however, use of different methodologies prevents direct comparisons in most cases. The study objectives were to address intra-regional variation and to identify any conserved bacterial core community.

Samples acquired during cruises in August and September 2009 with names prefixed by 3705 or 3731 were collected by the Johnson-Sea-Link submersible (Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution), using the Kellogg sampler (Kellogg et al., 2009). The sampler’s individual compartments were cleaned at the surface using ethanol, filled with sterile deionized water and sealed. Coral branches were collected, placed into the containers after ambient seawater evacuated the freshwater, and the containers were re-sealed at depth. Samples with names beginning with ROV00 were collected using the remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) Kraken II (University of Connecticut) during a research cruise in September 2010. The ROV carried several individual polyvinylchloride quivers that were cleaned with ethanol, filled with sterile deionized water and sealed at the surface with rubber stoppers. Immediately prior to collection, a quiver was opened, the sample placed inside, and the quiver sealed before the ROV continued its deployment. Upon return to the surface, all L. pertusa samples were transferred to sterile tubes, covered in Thermo Fisher Scientific's RNAlater Stabilization Solution and incubated overnight at 4 degrees Celsius (ºC) to allow the preservative to permeate the coral tissues before transfer to -20º C for long-term storage. Process_Date: 20100930 Process_Step: Process_Description: Two polyps from each coral sample (taken from the middle or tip of the branch to avoid any potential contamination at the base where the sampling claw was in contact with the coral) were combined to homogenize the variability of the bacterial community that may exist between polyps. The calyces containing polyps of L. pertusa were broken from the main branch with sterile pliers and placed into sterile aluminum dishes. The calyces were cracked open with a sterile hammer and the tissue was removed from the skeleton using an airbrush with sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and sterile forceps, taking care to minimize dilution of the sample with the PBS. While mainly tissue, the samples may have entrained some coral mucus, since no specific effort was made to exclude it. DNA was extracted from the samples using the MOBIO PowerPlant DNA Isolation Kit following the suggested modifications in Sunagawa et al. (2010). Briefly, approximately 50 mg aliquots of the tissue slurry from each sample were processed with the addition of a lysozyme step and additional, smaller beads to expedite physical lysis. Three extractions were done per coral sample (for a total of 36 extractions) and then recombined by sample after elution of the DNA from the spin column (resulting in 12 DNA samples, one per coral). The DNA samples were quantified with a Thermo Fisher Scientific Quanti-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Assay Kit, per the manufacturer’s protocol. Process_Date: 20120130 Process_Step: Process_Description: DNA samples were amplified with primers targeting the V4-V5 hypervariable region (563F/926R) of the 16S rRNA gene: forward primer (5′ AYTGGGYDTAAAGNG) and reverse primer (5′ CCGTCAATTYYTTTRAGTTT). The forward primer was tagged with one of four multiplex (MID) tags so the samples could be combined for sequencing on three plates. Amplification, pooling and 454 sequencing using GS FLX Titanium chemistry were performed by EnGenCore LLC. Sequence data from all samples were deposited in the NCBI SRA under Bioproject number PRJNA305617. Process_Date: 20120228 Process_Step: Process_Description: Sequence data were analyzed using the bioinformatic package Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology (QIIME) version 1.8 (Caporaso et al., 2010, Nature Methods 7:335-336, doi:10.1038/nmeth.f.303).
