This paper provides a brief summary of environmental and ecological concepts, and
analytical techniques for marine phospholipids (PL). These compounds have been …

Phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA) are widely used as chemotaxonomic markers in
microbial ecology. In this paper we explore the use of PLFA as chemotaxonomic markers for …

The review summarises recent advances towards a greater comprehensive assessment of
microbial diversity in aquatic environments using the fatty acid methyl esters and …

We studied the effects of O3 and CO2 alone and in combination on soil microbial
communities by assessing the changes in total PLFA biomass, profiles and specific …

Current fishing practices provide scavenging seabirds with discarded demersal fish. In order
to study the impact of fishery management measures and alterations in the availability of …

Benthic-pelagic exchange processes are recognised as important nutrient sources in
coastal areas, however, the relative impact of diffusion, resuspension and other processes …

In this study, the microbial community within compost, emitted into the airstream, downwind
and upwind from a composting facility was characterized and compared through …

Summary 1 Tissue fatty acid signatures (FAS) can complement traditional methods of
studying seabird diets. Although plasma lipid FAS are known to indicate dietary changes …

This study describes the microbial community structure of three sandy sediment stations that
differed with respect to median grain size and permeability in the German Bight of the …

Spatial similarities of structural and functional (trophic) aspects of microbial and macrofaunal
community patterns were studied in relation to sediment parameters in the German Bight …
