©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Trichodesmium is a marine, diazotrophic cyanobacterium that plays a central role in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen. Colonies ubiquitously co-occur with a diverse microbiome of heterotrophic bacteria. Here we show that manipulation of the microbiome with quorum sensing acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules significantly modulated rates of N2 fixation by Trichodesmium collected from the western North Atlantic, with both positive and negative effects of varied magnitude.

Show moreThe samples are composed of raw metatranscriptomic reads from acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) (quorum sensing) addition incubation experiments performed on Trichodesmium colonies collected in May 2014 on the 'PABST' cruise (R/V Atlantic Explorer AE1409) in the Sargasso Sea. We extracted prokaryotic RNA from triplicate control and +AHL samples, pooling together triplicate samples and sequencing 60 million paired end reads.
