Bacterial carbon sources in coastal sediments: a cross-system analysis based on stable isotope data of biomarkers
Coastal ecosystems are typically highly productive, and the sediments in these systems receive organic matter from a variety of local and imported sources. To assess if general patterns are present in the origin of carbon sources for sedimentary bacteria and their relation to the origin of the sediment organic carbon pool, we compiled both literature and new data on δ13C of bacterial biomarkers...

Microbial Carbon Sources on the Shelf and Slope of the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. (August 2005) Carlton David Rauschenberg, B.S., DePaul University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Luis A. Cifuentes Over the past five years, gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) analyses of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) has been increasingly used to link organic matter (...
متن کاملLead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India.
This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published data from the literature. Crustal sources influence the abundance of Pb in coastal sediment from the south-east and central-west coast of India. Parts of north-east, north-w...
متن کاملConstraining Sources of Organic Matter to Tropical Coastal Sediments: Consideration of Nontraditional End- members
Molar organic carbon to total nitrogen to organic phosphorus (OC:TN:OP) ratios are used in tandem with carbon isotopic values to constrain sources of organic matter (OM) to marine sediments in a tropical coastal embayment. Analysis of end-members specific to the study site indicates that the bulk OM pool cannot be modeled as a simple mixture of two end-members (terrestrial vs. marine OM), but r...
متن کاملIsotopic compositions of lipid biomarker compounds in estuarine plants and surface sediments
We examined the isotopic compositions of fatty acids, sterols, and hydrocarbons isolated from three coastal macrophytes (Z&era marina, Spartina alternifora, and Juncus roemerianclfs) in order to investigate the relative contribution of these vascular plants as sources of organic matter in coastal sediments such as Cape Lookout Bight, North Carolina. On average, lipid biomarker compounds extract...
