GNPS - Crustose coralline algae (CCA)

This dataset includes two species of the encrusting red algae, Crustose coralline algae (CCA) collected from Kaneohe Bay Oahu and Moorea, French Polynesia by Dr. Raphael Ritson Williams and Dr. Zachary A. Quinlan. The majority of the samples were visually identified under direction scope as Hydrolithon reinboldii, while three samples were Titanoderum sp. Tissues were extracted in 80% LC MS/MS methanol and frozen at -80 Celsius degrees. A portion of this study was funded by NSF-OCE PRF grant #2308400 and NSF-OCE grant 2516814. Untargeted LC-MS/MS acquisition was performed on a Vanquish Flex UHPLC system coupled to an Orbitrap Exploris 240 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). Chromatographic separation was performed on a Kinetex 1.7 um 100 A pore size C18 reversed phase UHPLC column 150 x 2.1 mm (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA).
