Field Activity 2017-327-FA

Identifier 2017-327-FA
Purpose Collection of replacement reef metagenome samples from coral and seagrass environments in Pulaski Shoals.
Location Dry Tortugas, FL
Summary Collected and filtered 10L each of benthic water at two sites (coral/OCS and seagrass) for 3 sequential days at roughly noon. Plated for vibrio counts. Flash froze sterivex filters for metagenomic analysis and small water samples for bacterial and viral direct counts. Froze water for nutrient analysis.
Info derived Microbial functional gene sequences, correlations to environmental parameters.
Comments Traveling to site and sharing platform with Lauren Toth's coring team.
