Abstract

Bacterial production or bulk water and large volume samples taken aboard the R/V Endeavor EN638, May 2019 in the Northern Atlantic.

Bacterial production was estimated from 3H-leucine incorporation by heterotrophic bacteria using a cold trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and microcentrifuge extraction method (Kirchman, 2001).  All work and incubations were performed in a UNOLS isotope lab.
