Fatty acid, sterol and hydrocarbon composition of Antarctic sea ice diatom communities during the spring bloom in McMurdo Sound

The lipid composition of microalgal communities dominated by diatoms collected from the sea ice at three locations within McMurdo Sound during the austral spring bloom of 1989/90, was determined using gas chromatography (GC) and GC mass spectrometry. A range of C 27 -C 29 sterols were detected. The...
