Stable carbon isotope fractionation by sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Biogeochemical transformations occurring in the anoxic zones of stratified sedimentary microbial communities can profoundly influence the isotopic and organic signatures preserved in the fossil record. Accordingly, we have determined carbon isotope discrimination that is associated with both heterotrophic and lithotrophic growth of pure cultures of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). For heterotro...
متن کاملCorrection: Equations for Lipid Normalization of Carbon Stable Isotope Ratios in Aquatic Bird Eggs
Stable isotope ratios are biogeochemical tracers that can be used to determine the source of nutrients and contaminants in avian eggs. However, the interpretation of stable carbon ratios in lipid-rich eggs is complicated because (13)C is depleted in lipids. Variation in (13)C abundance can therefore be obscured by variation in percent lipids. Past attempts to establish an algebraic equation to ...
متن کاملContinental-Scale Distributions of Vegetation Stable Carbon Isotope Ratios
All terrestrial higher plants preferentially assimilate CO 2 relative to CO 2 during photosynthesis as a result of physical and biological isotope fractionation processes, with much larger overall C fractionation by plants using the C 3 photosynthetic pathway (approximate range of 14–27‰) compared to plants using the C 4 pathway (approximate range of 3–6‰). Fractionation against CO 2 in both C ...
متن کاملPatterns and controls of lotic algal stable carbon isotope ratios
Spatial and temporal variations in stable carbon isotope ratios (i.e., 813C) of primary producers are common but poorly understood features of isotopic characterizations of aquatic food webs. I investigated factors that control t13C of algae (concentration and 613C of inorganic carbon, algal fractionation, and growth rates) in riffle habitats across a gradient in stream size and productivity in...
متن کاملMeasuring carbon isotope ratios of microphytobenthos using compound-specific stable isotope analysis of phytol
Carbon stable isotope analysis is one of the most common methods for validating theories about the role microphytobenthos (MPB) plays in estuarine food webs. However, difficulties extracting MPB from sediments to determine a pure isotope signature have hampered such studies. We have developed compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of phytol δ13C (δCphytol) as an accurate proxy for δ 13C of b...
