The molecular distribution of combined aldoses in sinking particles in various oceanic conditions
Sinking particles were collected from different marine locations in the Southern Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and the upwelling (UPW) zone of Agadir Morocco using free-floating sediment traps set from 50 to 300 m. Aldose composition was determined using high-performance anion-exchange chromatogr...

Sinking particles were collected from different marine locations in the Southern Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and the upwelling (UPW) zone of Agadir Morocco using free-floating sediment traps set from 50 to 300 m. Aldose composition was determined using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection following hydrolysis in 0.1 M HCl. Carbohydrate yields (PCHO-C/POC%) and C:N ratios were higher in the Mediterranean Sea samples (PCHO-C/ POC= 12.9 +/- 8.4%; C:N ratios=8.3 +/- 1.6; n=11) than in samples from the Southern Indian Ocean (PCHO-C/POC=3.6 +/-0.94%; C:N ratios=5.7 +/-0.59, n=7), indicating compositional differences in the bulk and sugar content of the collected particles. The molecular composition revealed that glucose was the most abundant monosaccharide in the Mediterranean Sea and upwelling zone samples (22-51 wt.% of the total aldoses), whereas ribose (17-39 wt.%) and galactose (10-27 wt.%) were the predominant aldoses in the Southern Indian Ocean samples.
