Experimental (Lipids) • at samples were extracted for total lipids, which were fractionated into six lipid classes. • Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) were methylated, then quantified using GC-FID. Identifications were based GC retention times of reference standards and GC-MS analysis. • Carbon isotopes were determined on PLFA using GC-IRMS.

PLFA Biomarkers Arkashin Shaft Rubber Mat CZ#1 North Field Yellow Blue Green (1&2) • 16:0 is the most abundant compound (33-44%), which is universal in all living organisms. • 18:1w7c, 18:1w9c, 18:2w6, 16:1w7c, are also abundant and consistent with biomarkers • characteristic of autotrophic organisms (cyanobacteria, green-sulfur bacteria, and green • non-sulfur bacteria) commonly found in terrestrial hot springs (Zhang et al., 2004). • Biomarkers of heterotrophic bacteria, such as iso- and anteiso-15:0 are low (2-8%). • Results indicate that bacterial biomass production is dominated • by autotrophic organisms in the Kamchatka hot springs. 50 40 30 % 20 10 0 20:0 19:0 cyc a19:0 i19:0 18:0 18:1w7c 18:1w9c 18:2w6 17:0 cyc a17:0 i17:0 16:0 i16:0 16:1w7c 15:0 a15:0 i15:0 fatty acids 14:0 12:0 Zhang, Mills and Romanek
