The effect of temperature, salinity and growth rate on the stable hydrogen isotopic composition of long chain alkenones produced by <I>Emiliania huxleyi</I> and <I>Gephyrocapsa oceanica</I>

Two haptophyte algae, <I>Emiliania huxleyi</I> and <I>Gephyrocapsa oceanica</I>, were cultured at different temperatures and salinities to investigate the impact of these factors on the hydrogen isotopic composition of long chain alkenones synthesized by these algae. Results...
