Dates of Permitted Activities: October 31—December 31, 2019. Permit Application: 2020–008 3. Applicant: Robert Sanders, Department of Biology, Temple University, 1900 N 12th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19122. Activity for Which Permit is Requested: Introduce Non-indigenous Species into Antarctica. The applicant would use cultures of the bacteria as a food source during a study of Antarctic mixotrophic phytoplankton aboard the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer. The bacterial culture is a nonpathogenic marine species (Photobacterium angustum) obtained from American Type Culture Collection. This bacterial species would be used as it has been shown to have the ability to incorporate a thymidine substitute that can be used to identify which phytoplankton have ingested the bacteria. The feeding experiments would be conducted in sealed plastic containers kept isolated from the environment. At the conclusion of the experiments, any sample or culture remaining, including filtered seawater, would be destroyed by autoclaving on the ship. Supplies and equipment would be sterilized at the end of each experiment by autoclaving or using ethanol. The applicant and permit agents are experienced in using sterile techniques and in maintaining safe practices with microbial cultures. Location: West Antarctic Peninsula region. Dates of Permitted Activities: November 1–December 28, 2019. Erika N. Davis, Program Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.
