Brief Description

NCBI accession numbers for metagenomic sequences: IODP Site 1244, Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon

Acquisition Description

DNA extraction and purification

DNA was extracted, in duplicate, from 8 to 20 g of of “Mobio” IODP sediment samples previously frozen at -80C  using a Powersoil total RNA Isolation Kit with the DNA Elution Accessory Kit (MO-BIO Laboratories, Solana Beach, CA, USA) following the manufacturer protocol but without beads. Approximately 2 grams of sediments were utilized for each extraction, and DNA pellets from each depth were pooled together. DNA concentrations were measured using a Qubit 2.0 fluorometer with dsDNA High Sensitivity reagents (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA). The DNA from the extractions that yielded robust 16S rRNA and metagenomic sequences ranged from 3.75-15 ng of DNA per gram of sediments.

Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA)

DNA was amplified using a REPLI-g Single Cell Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). Tubes, tube caps and reverse transcription-PCR grade water (Ambion, Grand Island, NY, USA) were UV-treated for 15 min in a PCR laminar flow hood. Quantitative PCR showed that the negative control began amplifying after 5 hr of incubation at 30°C, and therefore, the 30°C incubation step was shortened to 5 hr using a Bio-Rad C1000 Touch thermal cycler (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). DNA concentrations were measured in duplicate on a Qubit 2.0 with dsDNA High Sensitivity reagents (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA).

Illumina library preparation and sequencing

Two micrograms of MDA DNA were used to generate genome libraries using a TruSeq DNA PCR-Free Kit following the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). The resulting libraries were sequenced using a Rapid-Run on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Center for Integrative Genomics, Georgia Institute of Technology) to obtain 100 bp paired-end reads

Processing Description

Instruments

Instance Description

Bio-Rad C1000 Touch Thermocycler

General term for a laboratory apparatus commonly used for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 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.

Instance Description

Illumina HiSeq

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.

BCO-DMO Project Info

Project Title Functional gene diversity and expression in methane-hydrate bearing deep subsurface sediments
Acronym Methane-Hydrate Sediment Omics
URLhttps://www.bco-dmo.org/project/626690
Created November 19, 2015
Modified November 19, 2015
Project Description

Methane is a critical component of the deep subsurface. In shallow marine sediments, anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is coupled to sulfate reduction. However, relatively little is known about which microbial metabolisms are active in deeply buried sediment containing methane hydrates, particularly with regard to alternative electron acceptors that could fuel deep AOM. We propose to determine which microbial population(s) and functional genes are active in the deep biosphere beneath Hydrate Ridge offshore Oregon by sequencing metagenomes and metatranscriptomes from samples drilled on ODP Leg 204 and archived for future molecular analysis. We will analyze gene diversity and expression in six geochemically distinct zones from 2 to 139 meters below the seafloor with the goal of evaluating the relationship between geochemical conditions (i.e. sulfate, iron and manganese availability) and microbial metabolic activity.
