Sampling Methods
1 L of surface sea water from each station was collected and prefiltered through a 20-µm mesh sieve to remove most of the mesozooplankton and large particles, and then directly filtered through a 0.2-µm pore size nucleopore membrane filter (Whatman). The filters were frozen at −80 °C in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) buffer until laboratory experiments were carried out.
Study Extent | Samples were taken in January 2013, during the 29th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition at Greatwall Cove and Ardley Cove (king George Island, Antarctica) |

Method step description:
- DNA extraction was performed as described by Luo et al. (2009).
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using primers with barcodes flanking the hypervariable V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene: 3NDf with the reverse primer V4_euk_R2. PCR was conducted in 20 μL reactions with 0.2 μM each of the primers, ~10 ng of template DNA, 1 × PCR buffer, and 2.5 U of Pfu DNA Polymerase (Promega, USA). The amplification programme consisted of an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 2 min, followed by 30 cycles at 95 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s, and a final extension of 72 °C for 5 min. PCR products were pooled and purified using a DNA gel extraction kit (Axygen, Hangzhou, China). The DNA concentration of each PCR product was determined using a Quant-iT PicoGreen double-stranded DNA assay (Invitrogen, Germany) and was quality controlled on a TBS-380 Mini-Fluorometer (Turner Biosystems, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Finally, amplicons of all samples were pooled in equimolar concentrations.
- 18S rRNA amplification and sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq2000 were done by following the standard protocols of Earth Microbiome Project (EMP) (Caporaso et al. 2012).
