摘要: Analyses of the branched and cyclic alkane alkanoic acid fractions from three temperate lacustrine sub-tropical alagoonal/tidal-flat sediments parallel earlier evidence corresponding straight-chain saturated unsaturated that soluble organic material originates both autochthonous allochthonous sources. Among examples, are thought to receive highest contribution blue-green algae occurs relative abundance 7- 8-methylheptadecanes. In contrast, these components were not detected in bottom sediment lake lowest productivity. Varying concentrations iso- anteiso-alkanoic acids found studied most detail. For example, low components, obtained by solvent extraction alone two sediments, distributions n-alkanoic they do reflect a high bacterial and/or fungal contribution. The hydrocarbon are, general, characterised an envelope unresolved triterpanes hopane type. The probably pollution fossil fuel products. distribution indicates at least some arise contamination petroleum products. Triterpenoid type present certain indicating geolipids can be formed earliest stages diagnesis.
