Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of seven sediment samples were collected from different sites of Laizhou Bay (Figure 1 and Table 1) using a 0.05 m2 stainless steel Gray O'Hara box corner. Collection was carried out on September 2013. Six of the stations were near the shore and only Station 5 was located offshore. Triplicate surface sediment sub-core samples (0–5 cm depth) were collected using sterilized 60 ml syringes (without luer end) and then transferred to airtight sterile plastic bags at 4°C until analysis in the laboratory (Zhou et al., 2009 (link)). For physiochemical analyses, samples were collected with the same procedure and stored in sterilized plastic bags at −20°C during the cruise and were transferred to −80°C upon arrival in the laboratory. Surface temperature and pH of sediment samples were detected in situ using a pH meter. Organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations were determined using a PE 2400 series II CHNS/O analyzer (Perkin Elmer, USA).

An aliquot of 10 ml culture was filtered through 25‐mm 0.7 μm pore size glass fiber filter (Whatman) which was precombusted in a muffle furnace at 450°C for 5 hr. The collected filter membrane and filtrate were used for POC and DOC concentration measurements, respectively. In preparation for POC and DOC analysis, the collected filters were pickled with 12 M HCl for 24 hr in fume cupboards and then dried at 50°C for 24 hr in an oven, and the filtrate was acidized with 20 μl 12 M HCl. The concentration of POC and DOC was measured by a PE2400 Series II CHNS/O analyzer (Perkin Elmer) and a TOC‐VCHP analyzer (Shimadzu Corp.), respectively, at the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China. The δ13C of POC and DOC was determined by an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) at the Third Institute of Oceanography, Xiamen, China.

Water samples were taken from the New Britain Trench at station E (06°02.1243′S, 151°58.5042′E) in an August 2016 cruise aboard the M/V Zhang Jian. The sampling station is located in the northern Solomon Sea, close to the landmass of Papua New Guinea. Samples from eight different depths (75, 200, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 m) were collected using Niskin bottles fitted on a Sea-Bird Carousel equipped with a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensor (Sea-Bird SBE 911). For microbiological analysis, about 1.5–2 L water sample from each depth was filtered through a 0.22 μm pore size polycarbonate (PC) membrane (47 mm, Millipore) to collect bacterial assemblages. The membranes were stored in sterile cryo-tubes at 4°C until further processing. POC and PON contents were obtained by filtering 7–9 L seawater through 25 mm glass fiber filters of 0.7 μm nominal pore size (GF-75, Whatman) which were pre-combusted in a muffle furnace at 500°C for 12 h. The membranes were stored at−20°C for laboratory analysis of POC and PON with a PE2400 Series II CHNS/O analyzer (Perkin Elmer, USA) (Chen et al., 2008 (link)).

Reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography using aluminium sheets coated with silica gel F245 (60 Å, 40-63 μm, 230-400 mesh) with suitable UV visualization. Purification was carried out by flash chromatography (FC) on J. T. Baker's silica gel for chromatography (pore size 60 Å, particle size 50 nm). Petroleum ether (PE) used for chromatography is of fraction 40–60 °C. 1H NMR and 13C NMR were recorded on a Bruker Avance AV 500 (Bruker Biospin, Switzerland) spectrometer operating on 500.1 and 125.8 MHz, respectively. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as an internal standard for 1H NMR. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm on the δ scale from an internal standard of solvent (CDCl3 7.26 and 77.0 ppm, DMSO 2.50). The spectra were processed from the recorded FID files with TOPSPIN 2.1 software. Following abbreviations are used: s, singlet; br s, broad singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet. Coupling constants are reported in Hz. ESI-MS spectra were acquired using a LCQ quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source (Thermo LTQ, San Jose, CA, USA). Elemental analyses were performed on a ThermoQuest CE instrument (EA 1110 CHNS-O) or a Perkin-Elmer PE 2400 Series II CHNS-O Analyzer.

The compositions of the straw fractions and N-lignin were determined following the two-stage sulfuric acid hydrolysis procedure (Sluiter et al., 2010 (link)). Sugar content of N-lignin was analyzed after hydrolysis of 20 mg dry material in 1.4 mL of 4 wt-% sulfuric acid (1 h, 121°C). The amount of dissolved lignin in the aqueous ammonia extracts was determined using the spectrophotometric method (Dence, 1992 (link)). Lignin concentration was calculated based on the absorbance reading at 280 nm using N-lignin for calibration (ε = 20.0 L/g/cm). Elemental carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur contents of various straw fractions and isolated ammonia lignin were analyzed with Perkin-Elmer (PE) 2400 Series II CHNS/O Analyzer. Sample weight was 2 mg.

Sediment samples were collected from six stations (A5, C4, Y1, A3, B2, and D1) of Jiaozhou Bay using a stainless steel 0.05-m2 Gray O'Hara box corer on September 2, 2008 (Figure 1, Table 1). These stations with different water depths (4.0–12.8 m) are located in different regions of Jiaozhou Bay (Figure 1, Table 1). Except for D1 station at the entrance of Jiaozhou Bay, other stations are in the inner bay: stations A5, C4, and Y1 are in the east coastal area of Jiaozhou Bay, the most hyper-nutrified and polluted part of the bay (Dang et al., 2009 (link), 2010a (link)); station A3 is in the mid-north of the bay; station B2 is in the mid-west and is the less-polluted station compared to the others (Dang et al., 2009 (link); Liu et al., 2015a (link)). Replicate surface sediment subcore samples (5 cm depth) were taken aseptically using sterile 60-ml syringes (luer end removed) and stored in airtight sterile plastic bags at 4°C for screening bacterial strains or at −80°C for environmental analysis. Temperatures and pH of the surface sediments were measured in situ. Organic carbon (OrgC) and nitrogen (OrgN) contents in the samples were analyzed using a PE 2400 Series II CHNS/O analyzer (Perkin Elmer, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
