Supplementary Table 1. Cell input modifications for GMD capture. Bacterial and algal concentrations were adjusted to cell concentrations OD600, OD750 in 1x PBS and 100 µl of the resultant cell suspension (or 50 + 50 µL for abGMDs) was used as cell input for initial capture in the CelGel Matrix prior to sorting. This ratio of bacteria-to-matrix or algae-to-matrix (# cells/GMD) was verified by microscopy; data not presented. “aGMD” = algae only GMDs, “bGMD” =...

Supplementary figure 1. Comparison of the new mismatch-tolerant RT-qPCR with the assays with only Taq (conventional) and high fidelity (Q5) DNA polymerase. A. Detection of RSV mutants; B. Detection HCoV 229E mutants. The amplified products were detected using 2.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. The arrow highlights the specific product. For other details, please see Figure 3. Supplementary figure 2. Maximum likelihood (ML) tree of sequences from four clinical samples. ML tree of RSV-A and RSV-B sequences...

Supplementary Figure 1. Viability is unaffected by short time incubation in high viscosity medium. (A) The number of counted CFU/ml of Pseudomonas putida and Paenibacillus amylolyticus is identical after 45 min. of incubation in PBS and high viscosity liquid (50% glycerol). (B) Similarly, the viability of Xanthomonas retroflexus was unaffected by incubation in high viscosity liquid and did not change over a short time period (N=3, Error bars represent Standard Error (SE)).

The speciation of iron was investigated in three shelf seas and three deep basins of the Arctic Ocean in 2007. The dissolved fraction (<0.2 µm) and a fraction < 1000 kDa were considered here. In addition, unfiltered samples were analyzed. Between 74 and 83% of dissolved iron was present in the fraction < 1000 kDa at all stations and depth, except at the chlorophyll maximum (42-64%). Distinct trends in iron concentrations and ligand characteristics were...

The relative importance of small forms of copepods has been historically underestimated by the traditional use of 200-300-µm mesh nets. This work quantified the distribution and abundance of copepods, considering two size fractions (<300 µm and >300 µm), in superficial waters (9 m deep) of the Drake Passage and contributed to the knowledge of their interannual fluctuations among three summers. Four types of nauplii and eleven species of copepods at copepodite and adult stages were...

This data set provides measurements for diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, distance from tree stems to the furthest canopy element, and a species survey of secondary forests in Para and Rondonia, Brazil, from 2002-2003. The forest areas were defined as Type A and Type B stands. Measurements were made in the overstory, understory, and midstory of each stand. Type A stands were sampled intensively, with the goal of providing high-fidelity spatial information about...
