| Research Abstract |
We attempted to detect "glycocalyx" in marine organic matter, and the purpose of this study is the elucidation of the role to achieve for a marine organic matter pool from the chemical property of glycocalyx. Glycocalyx should protect disoolved and particulate organic matter in seawater from the decomposition and play an important role to make them exist stably. We observed some molecules indicating the chemical behavior like the simple protein to have a peptide group of the short and mid chains with main structure with a carbohydrate chain. These molecules may play a main role in the preservation mechanism of organic matter pool in marine ecosystem.
