Abstract

Measurements of peptidase and glucosidase activities in large volume mesocosm incubations on RV/Endeavor EN584, July 2016 (Patterns of activities project)

Fluorescence was measured over 24-48 hours incubation time with a plate reader (TECAN spectrafluor plus; 360 nm excitation, 460 emission), with time points taken every 4-6 hours. Hydrolysis rates were calculated from the rate of increase of fluorescence in the incubation over time relative to a set of standards of known concentration of fluorophore. Scripts to calculate hydrolysis rates and produce the figures shown here are available in the associated Github repository [Hoarfrost, 2017].
