Polysaccharide hydrolysis rates for Marmara Sea, Guaymas Basin, and Eastern Mediterranean Sea sediments. The polysaccharide hydrolysis rates for Marmara Sea sediment were generated during methods development experiments.

This dataset contains the final hydrolysis rates. Raw data are also available for download in a 20.5 MB .zip file.
The .zip file contains GPC chromatographic output for incubations with sediment from Guaymas Basin and the Eastern Mediterranean, used for hydrolysis rate calculations (CoreComparison folder). The "MarmaraMethods" folder contains GPC output for methods development experiments conducted using mud from the Marmara Sea. The "stds" folders contain GPC output for a set of standards of known molecular weight, which are necessary for rate calculations (each folder is a different run – depending on when a sample is run on the GPC, the standards run most recently are used as reference for rate calculations). Each file is raw chromatographic output is in fluorescence units (mV) over time for a 75-minute run. 

The associated processing an analysis scripts are available through GitHub: https://github.com/ahoarfrost/SedS
