δ 13 C composition of precursors and dominant LCFAs in analyzed demosponges.
Sponge species were pooled together, and the median is indicated in the box plot as black line. The numbers depict the sample size (individual FAME samples). The colors are used to match bacterial precursor FAs with sponge-produced LCFAs. Pink is used for (mid-)Me-branched FAs, grey is used for line...

Summary: | Sponge species were pooled together, and the median is indicated in the box plot as black line. The numbers depict the sample size (individual FAME samples). The colors are used to match bacterial precursor FAs with sponge-produced LCFAs. Pink is used for (mid-)Me-branched FAs, grey is used for linear FAs, blue and yellow indicate (a)i -branched FAs with distinct δ 13 C that may end up in an isomeric mixture, indicated by green (see Fig 5 for biosynthetic pathways). |
