    LIPID BIOMARKERS IN PLANKTON SAMPLES OF TWO SITES OF THE NORHTERN ADRIATIC SEA

    No full text
    Plankton species often show a characteristic composition in terms of lipid compounds such as sterols, hydrocarbons and fatty acids, which represent therefore useful markers that allow individuating species or taxa in marine trophic chain. We determined these compounds in plankton samples of two sites of the northern Adriatic Sea, with the aim to correlate some of these biogenic markers with microalgae distribution
