Insoluble prokaryotic membrane lipids in the geosphere : implications for organic matter preservation
Annually, 0.5-1 % of the OM productivity escapes mineralization to be preserved in the geosphere, the largest reservoir of organic matter (OM) on Earth. This preservation of OM has a direct impact on carbon bioavailability, on the carbon cycle and also on the formation of fossil fuels. This thesis a...
