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

对主要生物化学物质的地球化学性质的研究将继续：a)。从沉积物混合物中分离不同类别的颗粒，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)。研究酯结合酚酸在非木本维管植物组织的分类横截面中的分布和成键，并将这一信息与这些生物化学复杂材料典型的不同组成和成岩模式联系起来。c)。调查越来越多的证据表明维管植物组织中的一种主要多糖成分是常规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.
