Impact of metabolism and growth phase on the hydrogen isotopic composition of microbial fatty acids

Impact of metabolism and growth phase on the hydrogen isotopic composition of microbial fatty acids

Microorganisms are involved in all elemental cycles and therefore it is important to study their metabolism in the natural environment. A recent technique to investigate this is the hydrogen isotopic composition of microbial fatty acids, i.e. heterotrophic microorganisms produce fatty acids enriched...
