Organic Carbon and Organic Matter Levels in Sediments of the Strait of Hormoz, the Persian Gulf
Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...
متن کاملRole of organic matter, clay, and iron contents in the sorption of oxytetracycline on river sediments
Background: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely-used antibiotic; metabolism studies indicate only partial assimilation of it inside the body. Traditional wastewater treatment plants cannot remove OTC, and this results in the release of considerable amounts of the drug into aquatic environments. There is much concern over the role of residual antibiotics in the development of new generations of ba...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Degradation state of organic matter in surface sediments from the Beaufort Shelf: a lipid approach” by J.-F. Rontani
Rontani and coauthors here present a detailed lipid analyses on surface sediments off the Mackenzie River in Arctic Canada. They provide interesting insights into abiotic and biotic degradation processes by using (the degradation products of) a range of sterols and monounsaturated fatty acids in this environment. The authors appear knowledgeable in lipid chemistry and interpretation of lipid pa...

متن کاملInteractive comment on “Degradation state of organic matter in surface sediments from the Beaufort Shelf: a lipid approach” by J.-F. Rontani
Comment: Questioning whether terrigenous material is refractory in deltaic and shelf environments may be relatively new (see discussion and references on page 3883), but the observation of a faster degradation rate for predominantly terrestrial sterols than predominantly marine sterols is not. Answer: Concerning the faster degradation rates of sitosterol and campesterol than brassicasterol obse...
