Abstract:

These data are identified ciliates from deepwater and sediment-water interface samples from the northern Gulf of Mexico based on sequences of cloned 17S rRNA genes.

Purpose:

The goal was to examine the diversity and stability of ciliate community structure in deepwater and sediment water interface (immediately above sediments) in deep Gulf of Mexico samples that may have been impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

Data Parameters and Units:

Computative identification of individual clones. Samples are identified by the station location from which they were collected and by the depth (either water column depth in meters (m) or Water over Core (WOC)). Ciliate_sequencing_summary.xlsx-- excel spreadsheet tab named Header: Station (1.DSH07, 2.DWH, 3.SE02, 4.SL1040, 5.SL5100, 6.SL7150, 7.SL9150, 8.SL11150, 9.SL14100, 10.SL16150), Date (MM/DD/YYYY), Latitude (decimal degrees), Longitude (decimal degrees), site map (Note: the map contains an additional 11.SW01 site without data in the excel file), sample photo of the WOC "Water over Core" (or water column at specified meter depths) collected on Sterivex filters. DATA PARAMETERS Clone ID, Organism, Accession #, Max Identity % were collected for the excel spreadsheet tabs 1.DSH07, 2.a.DWH1570m, 2.b.DWH_WOC, 3.SE02_WOC, 4.a.SL1040_55m, 4.b.SL1040_surface, 4.c.SL1040_WOC, 5.a.SL5100_167m, 5.b.SL5100_WOC, 6.a.SL7150_340m, 6.b.SL7150_WOC, 7.SL9150_WOC, 8.SL11150_WOC, 9.a.SL14100_204m, 9.b.SL14100_WOC, 10.SL16150_WOC.

Instruments:

Samples collected during a research cruise aboard the RV WEATHERBIRD II during August 2013 in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Error Analysis:

Identify percentage match to existing data bases
