Abstract:
A phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance method has been developed for the determination of aquatic sediment phospholipid profiles that may be generally applied to all soils and deposits containing viable cellular material. A method of scrubbing chloroform/methanol extracts with potassium acid phosphate overcomes adverse signal broadening from the mineral component, permitting eleven sediment phospholipids to be determined at the quantitative level.
