BioSample

This sample (TARA_B100001123) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_125 (latitudeN=-8.8999, longitudeE=-142.5461) on date/time=2011-08-09T17:05:33, using a ROSETTE sampler with CTD (sbe9C) and 10 Niskin bottles. The sample material (saline water (ENVO:00002010), including plankton (ENVO:xxxxxxxx)) was collected at a depth of 140-140 m, targeting a marine epipelagic mixed layer (ENVO:xxxxxxxxx) in the marine biome (ENVO:00000447). The sample was size-fractionated (0.22-3 micrometres), preserved on board with RNA-Later, and stored in liquid nitrogen for later detection of prokaryote nucleic acid sequences by pyrosequencing methods, and for later metagenomics/transcriptomics analysis. This sample has replicate sample(s): TARA_B100001124.
