Description

This dataset includes microbial Salinispora strains and co-occurring bacteria found in samples from WS1209, their associated collection information, and links to GenBank accession pages. The collections were made from sediments off of Yucatan in the Mexican Caribbean Sea. Bacteria were cultured from marine sediments and identified based on 16S sequence analysis.

Coordinates (this study) or year of isolation are given for each strain, as well as sample depth if known. BC stands for Banco Chinchorro, which divided into North (N), Middle (M), and South (S) locations.
The following are also flagged in the data:
* Genome sequence available.
+ Strains used in secondary assays to determine the temporal onset of antagonism.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- added hyperlinks to GenBank accessions
- changed '<1' to 'lt_1'
- split collection year and location into 2 columns, adding 'nd' in empty cells
- replaced empty cells with 'nd' (no data)
- replaced blanks with underscores

Instruments

Automated DNA Sequencer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

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.

Thermal Cycler

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Thermal Cycler

Generic Description:

A thermal cycler or "thermocycler" is a general term for a type of laboratory apparatus, commonly used for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR), that is capable of repeatedly altering and maintaining specific temperatures for defined periods of time. The device has a thermal block with holes where tubes with the PCR reaction mixtures can be inserted. The cycler then raises and lowers the temperature of the block in discrete, pre-programmed steps. They can also be used to facilitate other temperature-sensitive reactions, including restriction enzyme digestion or rapid diagnostics.
