Structure and isotopic composition of bacterial lipids: Insight into distribution and carbon acquisition mechanisms of bacteria in hot spring microbial mats

M.T.J. van der Meer

Research output: ThesisDoctoral thesis 2 (Research NOT UU / Graduation UU)

Abstract

The results described in this thesis thus support the possibility that Precambrian organic matter enriched in ¹³C relative to what would be expected for organic matter produced by the Calvin cycle could be due to organisms using carbon fixation pathways other than the Calvin cycle.
