在从西方的太平洋的 Marcus 醒来海底山的充满钴的外壳(CRC ) 中的有机物,样品 CM1D03,被分析了理解有机物,和矿化作用环境的来源,地球化学和矿化作用。包括 n 链烷, isoprenoids, terpanes 和甾醇, Biomarkers 在 CRC 样品的各种各样的层被检测了,用煤气的层析(GC ) 和煤气的层析团 spectrometry (GCMS ) 。器官的碳( OC )和它的稳定的同位素的内容(<啜class=“ a-plus-plus ”> 13 C ),并且在 CM1D03 CRC 的使矿物化的有机物主要是的 biomarkers 表演的联合特征源于微生物和更低的浮游生物(例如,细菌和水藻,分别地)从海洋的表面水,与一些陆上的更高的植物部件。氯仿沥青 A 的比率:OC 在 CRC 高,在 10.51 和 20.66 之间,显示出 n 链烷的重要迁居特征。有机物的四个矿化作用范畴基于 n 链烷分子的 GC 色层谱被认出:(1 ) 原始类型(细菌和水藻) 它被描绘由中等从微生物和更低的浮游生物保存有机物的原来的特征的 n 链烷成熟;(2 ) 有膨胀的微生物引起的降级类型,被 n 链烷和升起的基线的低内容在色层谱描绘,是由 biodegradation 的有机物的产品;(3 ) 有机物迁居类型,被 n 链烷的低碳数字与 nC 描绘,潜水艇 class= “ a-plus-plus ” > 是的 18 主要山峰碳没有奇怪的甚至优势,并且有高碳的 isoprenoids 和烃的低集中数;并且(4 ) 热水的类型,被小分子的重量 n 链烷, pristane,和 phytane 的相对低的集中描绘,与比 nC 大的碳数字由 n 链烷的更高的集中伴随了的有机物 < 潜水艇 class= “ a-plus-plus ” > 18 。这研究证明 biomarkers 能记录控制矿化作用和他们的变化的因素。
Organic matter in cobalt-rich crust (CRC) from the Marcus-Wake Seamounts of the western Pacific Ocean, Sample CM1D03, has been analyzed to understand the source, geochemistry and mineralization of organic matter, and the mineralization environment. Biomarkers, includingn-alkanes, isoprenoids, terpanes and sterols, have been detected in various layers of the CRC sample, using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The content of organic carbon (OC) and its stable isotope (δ13C), and the combined features of the biomarkers show that the mineralized organic matter in CM1D03 CRC was mainly derived from microorganisms and lower plankton (e.g., bacteria and algae, respectively) from marine surface water, with some terrestrial higher plant components. The ratio of chloroform bitu-men "A": OC was high in the CRC, between 10.51 and 20.66, showing significant migration characteristics of n-alkanes. Four mineralization categories of organic matter were recognized based on GC chromatograms ofn-alkane molecules: (1) primitive type (bacteria and algae), which is characterized by moderately mature ofn-alkanes preserving the original characteristics of the organic matter from microorganisms and lower plankton; (2) microbial degradation type, which is characterized by low contents ofn-alkanes and rising baseline in the chromatogram, with the "bulge" being the products of organic matter by biodegradation; (3) organic matter migration type, which is characterized by low carbon number ofn-alkanes withnC18 as the main peak carbon, without odd even predominance, and low concentrations of isoprenoids and hydro-carbons with high carbon number; and (4) organic matter hydrothermal type, which is characterized by relatively low concentration of small molecular weightn-alkanes, pristane, and phytane, accompanied by higher concentration ofn-alkanes with carbon number greater thannC18. This study shows that biomarkers can record controlling factors of
