Extracellular dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in axenic and xenic cultures of Thalassiosira gravida in response to varying temperatures and photoperiods

This dataset comprises dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations from axenic and xenic cultures of Thalassiosira gravida that were cultivated at the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (Bremerhaven, Germany) in March, 2023. After a cell density of ~ 15.000 cells * mL-1 was reached, cultures were filtered through a 0.2 µm polycarbonate (PC) filter (Whatman) that was cleaned by soaking in 10 % hydrochloric acid (HCl, Merck suprapure) for at least 12 h and subsequently rinsing with ultrapure water (Merck Millipore MilliQ). DOC was quantified by high temperature catalytic oxidation with a Shimadzu TOC analyzer (VCPN-TOC, Shimadzu) according to Garzón-Cardona et al. 2024; doi: 10.1016/J.JMARSYS.2023.103893. Cultures were grown under two temperatures (9 °C, 13.5 °C) and two photoperiods (16:8 h, 24:0 h light:dark). The aim was to investigate responses of algal extracellular release and bacterial DOC transformation to marine heatwave-like conditions.

The occurrence of Vibrio spp. in the salinity gradient of shallow coastal waters of the Baltic Sea – data set including environmental and microbiological data (EU Biodiversa project BaltVib).

The main aim of the BaltVib sampling campaign was to analyse the microbial community composition in pelagic and benthic habitats with special focus on Vibrio spp. bacteria inside and outside of eelgrass meadows (Zostera marina), and selected macroalgae populations (Fucus spp.) in the salinity gradient of shallow coastal waters of the Baltic Sea. The temporal extent of the dataset is 25.07.2021 to 02.09.2021. The geographic extent of the dataset is spanning from 9°52,655 E to 25°00,698 W and 60°06,547 N to 54°00,8666 S. The measurement depth ranges from 0.2 meters to 7 meters. Salinity ranges from 4 to 14. Environmental parameters measured are: conductivity, temperature, pH, Secchi depth, chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, grain size, dissolved organic carbon, dissolved nitrogen, particulate organic nitrogen, particulate organic carbon. Vibrio spp. colony forming units were counted using TCBS agar plates. Abundance of Vibrio vulnificus was determined by ddPCR in water and sediment samples as well as in Zostera marina surface biofilm. Cell counts by flow cytometry contain: Synechococcus, Picoeukaryota, Nanoeukaryota, high-nucleic acid bacteria, low-nucleic acid bacteria. Macrophyte abundance was measured for Zostera marina and Fucus spp..

Water chemistry of the Rappbode water reservoir

We present concentrations and carbon stable isotope data of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and of various phases of OM including DOC, autochthonous particulate organic carbon (auto-POC) and sedimentary matter (SED) in a temperate drinking water reservoir (Rappbode Reservoir, Germany; 51°44'19"N, 10°53'30"E). This data cover a time period between March 2020 and December 2020 and refer to depths belonging to the metalimnion and the hypolimnion of the reservoir.

Concentrations of allochthonous particulate organic carbon (allo-POC) from the Rappbode water reservoir

We present wintertime concentrations of allochthonous particulate organic carbon (allo-POC) in a temperate drinking water reservoir (Rappbode Reservoir, Germany; 51°44'19"N, 10°53'30"E).

Project: BaltVib - Pathogenic Vibrio bacteria in the current and future Baltic Sea waters: mitigating the problem

Vibrio – microbes that are part of the natural bacterioplankton in temperate marine waters – have in recent years flourished in the Baltic Sea, probably stimulated by elevated surface water temperatures. Several Vibrio species are human pathogens. It is hence of great concern that Vibrio-related wound infections and fatalities have increased dramatically along the Baltic coasts. Future climate change is predicted to escalate this problem, posing a significant threat to human health and the Baltic tourism industry. However, the projections do not yet take into account the influence of ‘ecosystem engineers’ such as mussels and macrophytes on Vibrio diversity and abundance. Recent data indicate that in some of the ‘ecosystem engineers’ habitats the abundance of pathogenic Vibrio spp. is reduced. This opens up the option for nature-based solution (NbS) strategies to control pathogenic vibrios in the nearshore habitat where humans interact with the sea. However, climate change will also affect the structure and functioning of the ecosystem engineers, with as yet unknown consequences for the Vibrio populations in the Baltic Sea. BaltVib aims to delineate the current and future Vibrio status, determine biotic and abiotic key factors regulating Vibrio prevalence, and identify NbSs to mitigate the problem. This will be accomplished through interdisciplinary integration of marine, microbiological, molecular and socio-ecological expertise carried by partners from seven Baltic nations.
