      Abstract: 
          This dataset provides an estimate of the relative abundance of active microbial eukaryotes within and across 3 
          treatments (oil, oil and Corexit, and a dilute oil and Corexit treatment) in the GOMCOAST mesocosm 
          experiment based on 18S RNA sequences from RNAseq data. The data reflects the relative presence, activity 
          and detectability of eukaryotic species captured on an 8 micron polycarbonate filter.
      Purpose: 
          To determine how oil and oil and dispersant mixtures influence eukaryotic microbial community composition.

          treatment|Twelve 100L mesocosm tanks were filled with Gulf of Mexico seawater collected from the Texas 
          coastline, near TABS buoy R (29° 38.1000'N, 93° 38.5020'W) which is located ~100 miles away from Galveston 
          (TX). Four treatments were prepared in triplicate. Control tanks were filled with seawater. Water 
          accommodated fraction (WAF) of oil was prepared by mixing 25 mL (5 ml ~ every 30 min for 2.5 hrs) of Macondo 
          surrogate oil into 130 L of seawater. Mixing ended 24 hrs. after the initial oil addition (Knap et al. 1986; 
          Wade et al. 2017in preparation). The WAF was then introduced into the WAF mesocosm tanks and filled to 87 L 
          and mixed. From these WAF tanks 6 L was removed for other experiments and analyses (2 L dark/light, 4 L 
          hydrocarbon analyses). In order to make chemically enhanced water accommodated fraction (CEWAF), Corexit was 
          mixed with oil in a ratio of 1:20 and 25 mL of this mixture (5 ml every 30 min for 2.5 hrs) of surrogate oil 
          plus Corexit was added to 130 L of seawater. Mixing ended 24 hrs after the initial oil addition. The CEWAF 
          was then introduced into the CEWAF mesocosm tanks and filled to 96 L and mixed. From these CEWAF tanks 13 L 
          was removed for other experiments and analyses (7 L for the DCEWAF mesocosms, 2 L dark/light, 4 L 
          hydrocarbon analyses). Diluted CEWAF (DCEWAF) was prepared by mixing 9 L of CEWAF with 78 L of the original 
          seawater for a total volume of 87 L. From these DCEWAF tanks 6 L was removed for other experiments and 
          analyses (2 L dark/light, 4 L hydrocarbon analyses). To the water in the 12 mesocosms, nutrients were added 
          (final concentration f/20) and the tanks stirred. Banks of lights were placed behind each of the glass 
          mesocosm tanks and a 12:12 light/dark cycle employed. Sampling commenced and defined as time zero. The 
          estimated oil equivalents (EOE) were determined using Macondo surrogate oil as the calibration standard 
          (Wade et al. 2011) for the fluorescence analyses (Horiba Scientific Aqualog Fluorometer). The EOE mean 
          concentration of the three mesocosms for the control, WAF, DCEWAF and CEWAF at the start of the experiments 
          were 0 mg/L, 0.26 mg/L, 2.74 mg/L and 41.5 mg/L, respectively. The EOE mean concentration of the three 
          mesocosms for the in the control, WAF, DCEWAF and CEWAF after 72 hours were 0 mg/L , 0.06 mg/L, 1.03. and 
          17.3 mg/L, respectively.
          The estimate of the relative abundance of active microbial eukaryotes within and across treatments is based on 
          18S RNA sequences from RNAseq data and reflects the relative presence and activity and detectability of each 
          species. RNA was harvested from each of the 12 mesocosm tanks (3 replicate tanks for each treatment: 
          control, WAF, CEWAF, DECWAF) 72 hours after the initiation of the experiment. Several hundred mL (250 to 
          4000 mL) were rapidly and gently filtered onto two 47mm, 8 m polycarbonate filters. We limited the total 
          filtration time to 20 minutes. It took more time to filter water from the CEWAF tanks, and therefore less 
          volume was filtered from this treatment. The filters and denaturation solution (Ambion Simply RNA) was added 
          to Y-matrix bead beater tubes (MoBio). The samples were lysed using a SuperFastprep2 bead beater (30 seconds 
          at the maximum setting) and immediately stored in a -80°C freezer. RNA was extracted by exposing samples 
          immediately after thawing to 2 additional 30 second rounds in the SuperFastprep2 bead beater. The Ambion 
          Total RNA kit (ThermoFisher AM1910) was used to extract RNA followed by DNA removal with the Ambion Turbo 
          DNAfree kit (ThermoFisher AM1907) as per manufacturer instructions.
          RNA was sequenced as 125 base pair paired-end reads using Illumina HiSeq 250 RNAseq by Genome Quebec. PolyA 
          selection was used to remove the majority of the rRNA using the NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA magnetic isolation 
          module kit from New England Biolabs. Approximately 2-10% of the original rRNA sequences pass through this 
          step are sequenced (Abernathy and Overturf 2016). Trimmomatic was used to remove Illumina adapters and low 
          quality bases were identified using Phred scores (Bolger, Lohse et al. 2014). Kraken and the Silva SSU rRNA 
          Ref NR 99 database (release 123) were used to filter reads matching 18S sequences (Quast, Pruesse et al. 
          2013, Wood and Salzberg 2014). Kallisto and Sleuth were used to match, count and perform differential 
          expression and relative abundance analysis for reads against the Silva 18S database (Bray, Pimentel et al. 
          2016, Pimentel, Bray et al. 2017). Three replicate mesocosms were sequenced for the control and WAF 
          treatment, but following quality control only two replicates were available for the DCEWAF treatment and one 
          replicate for the CEWAF treatment.
          Each 18S sequence in the Silva database is identified with an accession code and a hierarchical taxonomic 
          identification. All non-Eukaryota, Metazoa and Embryophyta sequences were removed from the analyses. The 
          taxonomic identification in Silva is hierarchical but the identifications do not all have the same number of 
          levels in the hierarchy so the phylum, order, or class, for example, are not readily extracted. Where 
          possible we use the taxonomic hierarchy used by WoRMS in 2016/17. The genus and species name for each taxon 
          in the Silva database (the last entry in the hierarchy) was used to search the World Registry of Marine 
          Species (WoRMS, marinespecies.org). A variety of secondary sources were used to identify the taxonomic 
          hierarchy for taxa without a match in WoRMS including the Global Names Index (GNI), the Pan-European Species 
          Infrastructure (PESI), the Paleobiology database (Paleo), and the taxonomic hierarchy used by 
          Wikipedia/Wikispecies. An automatic search for all taxa was performed using lifewatch.be on 2016 December 31 
          using WoRMS, GNI, PESI, and Paleo.||One sampling point was taken and analysed as described in the methods 
          above.|There is no error quantified for the individual point estimates of relative abundance across 
          treatments. The average relative abundance was estimated from replicate samples when available as described 
          in the methods.|The original raw sequence data from the Illumina sequencer have been deposited at NCBI’s 
          Short read archive (SRA) under BioProject PRJNA338185. The data are archived as BioSample SAMN08118040 and
