Description:
Deep-sea sediment samples were taken from the (wider) Kairei hydrothermal field area (25°S, 70°E) as well as a remote site (26°S, 71°E) in the Indian Ocean during the INDEX cruise 2016 with the N/O Pourquoi pas? (Ifremer, France). Push core samples from different areas of the Kairei vent field, as well as a sample from the remote site (~200 km south-east from the Kairei), were recovered with the help of the ROV VICTOR 6000 (Ifremer, France). All subsampling steps were carried out shipboard at 4 °C. With sterile syringes (nozzles removed) 3 ml of 2 cm layers of sediment were transferred into sterile falcon tubes for DNA extraction and stored at –80 °C. The remaining sediment was cut into 2 cm slices, freeze-dried, and partially milled to 〈75 mm for geochemical analyses. The sediment was analyzed for carbon chemistry, i.e. total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC) with routine standard methods (IR-detection after combustion, ISO 10694, LECO CS 230 analyzer). Elemental composition of Kairei sediments was estimated by the accredited Actlab Laboratories, Canada (Multimethod mix called Ultratrace 3 program, using INAA, 4-Acid Digestion, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS). Sediments from the remote station were analyzed by routine WD-XRF after fusion with Li-Metaborate/Li-Bromide (XRF spectrometers Philips PW 2400 und Philips PW 1480).
