Research paper thumbnail of THE BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF MARINE MICROALGAE FROM THE CLASS EUSTIGMATOPHYCEAE'

W e studied Nannochloropsis salina (strain CS-190) from Scotland, two strains of Nannochloropsis oculata (CS-179 and CS-216) from Japan, and a n un-named eustigmatophyte (CS-246) isolated from Queens-land waters that appears to be closely related to N. ocu-lata. Gross compositional features were similar: total carbohydrate ranged from 5.2% (N. oculata CS-I 79) to 8.9% (N. salina) of cell dry weight. Polysaccharide comprised 74% (N. oculata CS-179) to 88% (CS-246) of this total. Glucose was the principal polysaccharide sugar (4 5. 2 4 6 2 % of total sugars). Other sugars included fu

The relative abundance of the two main C37:2 and C37:3 alkenones expressed as the index [C37:2]/([C37:2] + [C37:3]) is now widely used for reconstructing sea surface paleotemperatures. A new technique involving NaBH4 reduction of alkenones to the
