Major Biochemical Forms and Distribution Among Marine Sedimentary Particles and Vascular Plant Tissues

主要生物化学物质的地球化学研究将继续进行：a)。从沉积物混合物中分离出不同的颗粒类别，然后确定主要的生化成分、它们的微环境以及对化学和生物制剂的潜在反应性。b)。研究了非木本维管植物组织中酯结合酚酸的分布和结合，并将这些信息与这些生物化学复合物的不同组成和典型成岩模式联系起来。​c)。研究维管植物组织中一种主要的多糖成分的日益增长的证据，这是传统的分子水平分析所不能解释的。

Research on the geochemistries of the major biochemicals will continue by: a). Isolating different particle classes from sediment mixtures and then determining the major biochemical components, their microenvironments, and potential reactivities toward chemical and biological agents. b). Studying the distribution and bonding of ester-bound phenolic acids in a taxonomic cross section of nonwoody vascular plant tissues and relating this information to the diverse compositions and diagenetic patterns typical of these biochemically complex materials. c). Investigating the growing evidence for a major polysaccharide component of vascular plant tissues that is not accounted for by conventional molecular- level analyses.
