Teflon-Lined Go-Flo samplers (General Oceanics) were used to collect water column seawater samples from a trace metal clean CTD-rosette (Seabird Scientific; Cutter and Bruland 2012). Subsamples (100 mL) for dissolved hydrogen and methane were collected via syringe on deck and then analyzed onboard using gas chromatography following the methods outlined in Baumberger et al. (2014) and Kelley et al. (1998). Samples for pFe and pStot were collected in a shipboard clean-air laboratory by filtering seawater (average ~ 6 L) onto 0.2um polycarbonate track etched membrane filters (Whatman) with cellulose ester filter backings (Whatman), followed by a 15 mL rinse step using pH 8 MilliQ-NH4OH solution to remove excess sea salts. Samples were stored in a desiccator until the end of the cruise then later analyzed in the lab using energy dispersion X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) following the methods outlined in Buck et al. (2021). References: Baumberger, T., M. D. Lilley, J. A. Resing, J. E. Lupton, E. T. Baker, D. A. Butterfield, E. J. Olson, and G. L. Früh-Green. 2014.

Trace metal and organic iron ligand data collected during the PLUME RAIDERS cruise (RR2106) on the R/V Roger Revelle from 18 September – 6 November 2021 along the 16-18ºS section of the Southern East Pacific Rise.
This dataset includes the concentrations of total dissolvable iron and manganese, dissolved iron and manganese, and dissolved organic iron-binding ligands collected on the PLUME RAIDERS expedition. Samples were collected during the PLUME RAIDERS cruise (RR2106) on the R/V Roger Revelle from 18 September – 6 November 2021. The main study area was located along the 16-18ºS section of the Southern East Pacific Rise, and the sampling was focused near the ride crest at depths below 1,500 m. Both the total dissolvable and dissolved iron and manganese concentrations were determined shipboard using flow injection analysis. The total organic iron-binding ligand data was generated both shipboard and in the lab using competitive ligand exchange adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry. The siderophore concentrations were measured following a solid phase extraction step, and then eluents were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The dissolvable and dissolved metal data was generated by Dr. Joe Resing and Nathan Buck at NOAA-PMEL and the ligand and siderophore data was generated by Dr. Laura Moore and Dr. Randelle Bundy at the University of Washington.

The growth of diatoms in the Southern Ocean, especially the region surrounding the West Antarctic Peninsula, is frequently constrained by low dissolved iron and other trace metal concentrations. This challenge may be overcome by mutualisms between diatoms and co-occurring associated bacteria, in which diatoms produce organic carbon as a substrate for bacterial growth, and bacteria produce siderophores, metal-binding ligands that can supply diatoms with metals upon uptake as well as other useful secondary compounds for diatom growth like vitamins. To examine the relationships between diatoms and bacteria in the plankton (diatom) size class (> 3 µm), we sampled both bacterial and diatom community composition with accompanying environmental metadata across a naturally occurring concentration gradient of macronutrients, trace metals and siderophores at 21 stations near the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Offshore Drake Passage stations had low dissolved iron (0.33 ± 0.15 nM), while the stations closer to the continental margin had higher dissolved iron (5.05 ± 1.83 nM). A similar geographic pattern was observed for macronutrients and most other trace metals measured, but there was not a clear inshore-offshore gradient in siderophore concentrations. The diatom and bacteria assemblages, determined using 18S and 16S rDNA sequencing respectively, were similar by location sampled, and variance in both assemblages was driven in part by concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorous, dissolved manganese, and dissolved copper, which were all higher near the continent. Some of the most common diatom sequence types observed were Thalassiosira and Fragilariopsis , and bacteria in the plankton size fraction were most commonly Bacteroidetes and Gammaproteobacteria. Network analysis showed positive associations between diatoms and bacteria, indicating possible in situ mutualisms through strategies such as siderophore and vitamin biosynthesis and exchange. This work furthers the understanding of how naturally occurring gradients of metals and nutrients influence diatom-bacteria interactions. Our data suggest that distinct groups of diatoms and associated bacteria are interacting under different trace metal regimes in the WAP, and that diatoms with different bacterial partners may have different modes of biologically supplied trace metals.more » « less

Abstract Siderophores are strong iron‐binding molecules produced and utilized by microbes to acquire the limiting nutrient iron (Fe) from their surroundings. Despite their importance as a component of the iron‐binding ligand pool in seawater, data on the distribution of siderophores and the microbes that use them are limited. Here, we measured the concentrations and types of dissolved siderophores during two cruises in April 2016 and June 2017 that transited from the iron‐replete, low‐macronutrient North Pacific Subtropical Gyre through the North Pacific Transition Zone (NPTZ) to the iron‐deplete, high‐macronutrient North Pacific Subarctic Frontal Zone (SAFZ). Surface siderophore concentrations in 2017 were higher in the NPTZ (4.0–13.9 pM) than the SAFZ (1.2–5.1 pM), which may be partly attributed to stimulated siderophore production by environmental factors such as dust‐derived iron concentrations (up to 0.51 nM). Multiple types of siderophores were identified on both cruises, including ferrioxamines, amphibactins, and iron‐free forms of photoreactive siderophores, which suggest active production and use of diverse siderophores across latitude and depth. Siderophore biosynthesis and uptake genes and transcripts were widespread across latitude, and higher abundances of these genes and transcripts at higher latitudes may reflect active siderophore‐mediated iron uptake by the local bacterial community across the North Pacific. The variability in the taxonomic composition of bacterial communities that transcribe putative ferrioxamine, amphibactin, and salmochelin transporter genes at different latitudes further suggests that the microbial groups involved in active siderophore production and usage change depending on local conditions.more » « less

This dataset includes the concentrations of dissolved inorganic macronutrients (phosphate, nitrate plus nitrite (N+N), silicic acid, and nitrite), chlorophyll a and phaeophytin, dissolved trace metals (iron, manganese, nickel, zinc, copper), and labile dissolved nickel, as well as pH and total alkalinity measurements, from discrete depth profile samples collected on the FeOA cruise SKQ202209S on R/V Sikuliaq in the Northeast Pacific from June to July 2022. This project investigates the effects of ocean acidification on the associations between iron and organic ligands in seawater and on iron bioavailability to marine phytoplankton communities. The project used a combination of shipboard incubation experiments and depth profiles to characterize iron speciation and cycling across coastal upwelling, oligotrophic open ocean, and iron-limited subarctic oceanographic regimes in the NE Pacific. Surface seawater was incubated at pH of 8.1, 7.6, and 7.1 with natural iron and with dissolved iron amendments in order to investigate interactions between pH and iron bioavailability across the different regimes. Understanding how pH influences iron and its relationship with ligands provides important information for assessing the impacts of ocean acidification on primary production and biogeochemical processes.more » « less
