Normalized oxygen from incubations conducted with methylcyclohexane using samples collected from the Gulf of Mexico during June 2015 on R/V Atlantis cruise AT29-02

Hydrocarbon incubations were conducted with water collected from 1000 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico across four stations during cruise AT29-02 on the R/V Atlantis. Sample collection occurred June 16-17, 2015. Each incubation was injected with 10 microliters of methylcyclohexane (MCH) or methylcyclopentane (MCP). Each incubation was monitored for oxygen content using remote optical oxygen sensors. After we observed a respiration signal, we sacrificially harvested each bottle for cell counts, nutrients, and DNA. Incubation time varied from 10-31 days. These data were used to assess who consumes these compounds in the deep Gulf of Mexico, over what time frame, and what metabolic pathways bacteria use to consume them. This dataset includes the normalized oxygen measurements from the MCH incubations.

在R/V Atlantis号巡航期间的AT29-02航次中，于墨西哥湾1000米深处的四个站位进行了碳氢化合物培养实验。样品采集于2015年6月16日至17日。每个培养实验中注入了10微升的甲基环己烷（MCH）或甲基环戊烷（MCP）。通过远程光学氧传感器监测每个培养实验中的氧含量。观察到呼吸信号后，我们对每个瓶子进行了牺牲性收获，以进行细胞计数、营养物和DNA分析。培养时间从10至31天不等。这些数据被用于评估在墨西哥湾深处，何种生物在何种时间框架内消耗这些化合物，以及细菌消耗这些化合物的代谢途径。该数据集包括MCH培养实验的标准化氧测量值。
