Hydrolysable carbohydrate data collected from the trace metal rosette in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017, on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.

Dataset abstract

Hydrolysable carbohydrate (referred to as TPZT from the analytical methodology used) is part of the labile pool of dissolved organic carbon that is excreted by most (micro)organisms or released by continental margins/sediments. It is a carbon source for heterotrophic bacteria. These carbohydrates could also potentially bind iron and act as an iron binding ligand.

This data is used to explore the nature of iron ligands and relate to biological and chemical oceanography.
