Phospholipid-derived fatty acids and quinones as markers for bacterial biomass and community structure in marine sediments.

Phospholipid-derived fatty acids and quinones as markers for bacterial biomass and community structure in marine sediments.

Phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA) and respiratory quinones (RQ) are microbial compounds that have been utilized as biomarkers to quantify bacterial biomass and to characterize microbial community structure in sediments, waters, and soils. While PLFAs have been widely used as quantitative bacte...
