Hydrocarbon distribution of algae and bacteria, and microbiological activity in sediments.
The chemical taxonomic relationship of microorganisms has been studied through the hydrocarbon fraction of their chemical constituents. The diagenesis and biological transformations of some hydrocarbons in sediments is suggested, as a result of this information.
