Outline of Final Research Achievements

The amount of bioessential metals play a key role in marine biogeochemical processes as a limiting factor for vital reactions. Quantitative analysis of metal-bearing compounds may be able to indicate in situ proxy for biological activity. I measured down-core data of bioessential metals (Fe, An, Cu, Mn, Mo), and radiogenic Sr isotope ratios in a Quaternary sediment core recovered from the West Caroline Basin in the western equatorial Pacific. Following chromatographic separation of lipid, protein, and pigment fractions, metal concentrations were measured with a quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. I also measured dense benthic microbial mat of solar salterns which harbor surprisingly diverse microorganisms. The in situ geochemical signatures and sediment fabrics of salt deposits allows proposing a past depositional environment with marked impact on the benthic biota of the depositional basin.
