Introduction

In the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice is an important regulator of ecologi-cal processes in the water column. Sea ice stabilizes the water column by bu�ering wind stress, while limiting the transmission of light necessary for photosynthesis. To better understand the role of sea ice on ecological pro-cesses in the Antarctic we took advantage of unusual ice conditions in Arthur Harbor on the western Antarctic Peninsula during the 2015 spring seasonal transition. Rare, persistent land-fast sea ice allowed us to estab-lish a sea ice station approximately 200 m o�shore of Palmer Station. Water samples were collected from the sea ice station and incubated under simu-lated 10 m depth light conditions. Repeated sampling of the incubations and at the ice station allowed a direct comparison of ice-covered and ice-free conditions. When conditions allowed sam-ples were collected from Palmer LTER stations B and E, located in the marginal ice zone, providing a fur-ther comparison with the water column under partial sea ice cover.

Methods

Sample were collected with a peristaltic pump directly onto sterile 0.2 µm �lters and immediately �xed with 2-mercaptoethanol. Total RNA was extracted with the MoBio Powerwater RNA kit, treated with DNase, and rRNA depleted. Libraries were prepped from QC’d mRNA and sequenced at 2 x 100 on the Illumina HiSeq at a density of nine samples per lane. Sequence reads were analyzed with a new extension of the paprica pipeline for metabolic inference. In brief, overlapping reads were assem-bled with PEAR and mapped with BWA to a database of unique, taxonomi-cally referenced coding sequences extracted from all the completed ge-nomes in Genbank (Archaea, Bacteria, and virus), and from the Marine Mi-crobial Eukaryotic Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP). Each mapped reference genome (or reference transcriptome) is viewed inde-pendently in our analysis, allowing the identi�cation of di�erentially ex-pressed genes even as the relative abundance of the target organism changes over time.

Preliminary observations of expression patternsBlue is signi�cantly downregulated, red is signi�cantly upregulated

Conclusions and Next Steps Strombidium spp. (MMETSP0449; mixotropic ciliate) dominated in the early spring below sea ice. Within 72 hours of exposure to 10 m light conditions the assem-blage had shifted to centric diatoms. By contrast Phaeocystis spp. (MMETSP1178; a mixotrophic �agellate) and chlorophytes were most abundant in the marginal ice zone, although mixotrophic ciliates were also observed. Diatoms did not dominate the marginal ice zone phytoplankton assemblage until nearly 35 days after the start of the experiment. These results highlight the role of reduced light and vertical mixing in suppressing the spring diatom bloom. There are clear di�erences in the gene expression patterns among the dominant protists. We are now exploring these patterns to identify the di�erent physiological responses to the onset of spring and summer conditions.

The scatterplots show the results of the analysis for di�erentially expressed genes with DESeq2. The magnitude of log2(fold change) (y-axis) indicates how much expression has increased or decreased between timepoints. The color of the points gives the level of signi�cance according to the binomial test (red: p < 0.05, black: p >= 0.05). The products of di�erentially expressed genes are given in the heatmaps at right.
