The Ocean Sampling Day (OSD) Handbook, version of April 2016, is a best practice guide
describing procedures and policies on the marine sample collection, logistics and
bioinformatics intended primarily for marine research stations and cruises contributing to
the Ocean Sampling Day event, (http://www.microb3.eu/osd). These guidelines on the OSD
sample and data collection and archiving were developed by the Micro B3 consortium to
support an objective of the Micro B3 project (http://www.microb3.eu/) to integrate global
marine data with research on microbial diversity and functions.
A collection of OSD samples acquired according to OSD Handbook guidelines, i.e. using
standardised protocols and accompanied by a standardised set of environmental
parameters, will enable molecular and morphological analysis of marine microbial
biodiversity on a global scale and in a rich environmental context. OSD samples will be
archived at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural Hi.....
