“…It was interesting to note that the concentrations of both GLU-N and GAL-N decreased rapidly with the increasing depth suggesting their utilization. This AS distribution pattern contradicts the distribution pattern of these compounds observed in the sedimenting particles (Belluomini et al 1986;Haake et al 1992;Hashimoto et al 1998;Gupta and Kawahata 2000). In sedimenting particles the concentrations of amino sugars generally increased with water depth.…”

“…HPLC method is routinely employed for the analysis of AS in sedimenting particles and sediments (Belluomini et al 1986;Haake et al 1992;Jennerjahn and Ittekkot 1997;Hashimoto et al 1998;Gupta and Kawahata 2000;Takano et al 2004). Using this method glucosamine (GLU-N) and galactosamine (GAL-N) were detected in the SPM samples collected from different stations sampled in the Bay of Bengal (figure 2).…”

“…Bacterial cell walls posses both Glc-NH 2 and Gal-NH 2 (Wolla et al, 1984), and yield a Glc-NH 2 /Gal-NH 2 ratio of <4 (Kandler, 1979). The Glc-NH 2 /Gal-NH 2 (galactosamine) ratio is therefore often used to differentiate chitinous zooplankton from microbial biomass (Haake et al, 1992). Considering the wide possibility of application of AA based parameters in interpreting compositional changes of settling particles in space and time, the data from this study were used in the calculation of these parameters in order to understand the biogeochemistry of settling particles in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.…”
