Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Samples were collected at the shallow-water hydrothermal vent sites at Paleochori Bay, Milos Island, Greece. Sequence data (bacterial ssrRNA) was obtained using the Ion Torrent platform from total RNA extracted from thirty-two sediment and microbial biofilm samples characterized along a transect. Sequence data are currently being generated and analyzed, they will be deposited in GenBank prior to publication and will be made available to the scientific community.

Supplied Description:

Ion Torrent platform

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Automated DNA Sequencer

Acronym: Automated Sequencer

Generic Description:

General term for a laboratory instrument used for deciphering the order of bases in a strand of DNA. Sanger sequencers detect fluorescence from different dyes that are used to identify the A, C, G, and T extension reactions. Contemporary or Pyrosequencer methods are based on detecting the activity of DNA polymerase (a DNA synthesizing enzyme) with another chemoluminescent enzyme. Essentially, the method allows sequencing of a single strand of DNA by synthesizing the complementary strand along it, one base pair at a time, and detecting which base was actually added at each step.

Push Corer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

push cores were collected by SCUBA divers

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Push Corer

Generic Description:

Capable of being performed in numerous environments, push coring is just as it sounds. Push coring is simply pushing the core barrel (often an aluminum or polycarbonate tube) into the sediment by hand. A push core is useful in that it causes very little disturbance to the more delicate upper layers of a sub-aqueous sediment.
