PCTE Protocol for VLP enumeration Resource Report Resource Website |
Ken Stedman, Geoffrey Diemer, Jennifer E Kyle | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.eaubaew | VERVE Net | An alternative epifluorescence microscopy (EFM) technique for virus enumeration has been developed using polycarbonate Track Etch (PCTE) filter membranes in place of aluminum oxide Anodisc membranes. The established EFM technique, first developed by Hennes and Suttle in 1995 and later expanded upon by Noble and Fuhrman in 1998, uses supported 20 nm pore-size Anodisc filter membranes to determine virus abundance in natural environments. Increased price and sporadic availability of Anodisc filters stimulated the evaluation of alternative filters for use in the procedure. The feasibility of using 30 nm pore-size PCTE filters for virus enumeration was assessed using the Anodisc filter procedure as a control. Although virion particle counts are slightly less precise using PCTE filters, they offer a substitute for Anodiscs while requiring only minor adjustments to the established protocol. Per slide, the PCTE costs approximately ten times less to prepare than the Anodisc-based method. | Stedman Lab, Stedman Lab, Stedman Lab | http://web.pdx.edu/~kstedman/PCTE_virus_counting_protocol.pdf | 1 | 2016 | Ken Stedman, Geoffrey Diemer, Jennifer E Kyle 2016.

Treatments for the Preservation of Seawater Samples Resource Report Resource Website |
Bonnie Poulos, Jenn Brum, Elke Allers, Christine Schirmer | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.c29yh5 | VERVE Net, Sullivan Lab | This protocol consists of several methods for the preservation of seawater samples to later perform various techniques in the lab. It is meant as a sampling treatment in the field and is written as comprehensive; however, depending on needs and scientific questions, any or all of the methods may be used.Flow Cytometry (FCM): Samples are used for counting bacteria and for sorting different groups of microbes (eg, sorting synechococcus and prochlorococcus and non-fluorescent bacteria). Glutaraldehyde fixes microbes and renders them unculturable whereas microbes preserved in DMSO and Betaine can usually be cultured after thawing and rinsing. Betaine was developed for single cell sorting and may be a better preservative than DMSO.SYBR staining: Samples are used for counting bacteria (unfiltered or pre-filtered seawater) and viruses (unfiltered, pre-filtered or 0.2um filtered seawater) microscopically after staining with SYBR-Gold (or SYBR-Green). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Samples are used for determining frequency of visibly infected cells (FVIC) and determining types of microbes or viruses present, and can be quantitative.Quantitative PCR (qPCR): Samples are used for quantitative PCR of microbes. They can also be used for quantitative PCR of viruses.Viral qPCR: Samples are used for quantitative PCR of viruses.Culturing Viruses: Samples are used for cultivating viruses by solid or liquid plaque assay on susceptible hosts. Samples can also be used for viral tagging (using flow cytometry) and most probable number (MPN) assays.Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): Samples are used with fluorescent probes to determine what populations of bacteria or other microbes are present. The filters may also be used to simply count the number of microbes in a sample.

Wet-mount Method for Enumeration of Aquatic Viruses Resource Report Resource Website |
B.R. Cunningham, J.R. Brum, S.M. Schwenck, M.B. Sullivan, S.G. John | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.c8pzvm | VERVE Net, Sullivan Lab | Purpose: This method for the enumeration of aquatic viruses is a low-cost alternative to the commonly used filter-mount method. Briefly, fluorescently-stained samples are wetmounted directly onto slides for epifluorescence microscopy after an optional chemical flocculation concentration step used for samples with anticipated virus concentrations of 7 viruses mL-1 (samples with >5×107 viruses mL-1 do not require this concentration step prior to analysis). Virus concentration in the wet-mounted sample is determined from the ratio of viruses to microsphere beads, which are added at a known concentration. This wet-mount method for enumerating viruses is significantly less expensive than the filter-mount method (i.e., the cost of microsphere beads per sample is ~500-fold lower than the cost of one filter per sample), and is appropriate for rapid, precise and accurate enumeration of aquatic viruses over a wide range of viral concentrations encountered in field and laboratory samples. The only limitation of this method is that samples with virus concentrations ≤1×106 viruses mL-1 cannot be enumerated, as the abundance of viruses is too low for efficient enumeration.Figure 1.

Simultaneous measurement of grazing and viral lysis of phytoplankton Resource Report Resource Website |
Corina Brussaard, Anne-Claire Baudoux, Anna A. M. Noordeloos, Marcel J. W. Veldhuis | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.dx67rd | VERVE Net | An adapted dilution method was used to estimate viral lysis and microzooplankton grazing simultaneously. Parallel dilution experiments were performed with 30 kDa ultrafiltrate (virus and grazer-free diluent) and 0.2 µm filtered seawater (grazer-free, but virus-containing diluent). Specific viral lysis rates were calculated from the difference in P. globosa growth rates between the 2 dilution series after 24 h incubation under natural conditions. The validity of this method was tested using a culture of P. globosa infected with a known P. globosa virus (PgV).Protocol derived from: Baudoux, A., Noordeloos, A., Veldhuis, M., & Brussaard, C.
