Hydrocarbons of Blue-Green Algae: Geochemical Significance

Winters, Kenneth, Parker, P. L., Van Baalen, Chase·1969·Science

Abstract

The hydrocarbon compositions of 11 species of blue-green algae are simple and qualitatively similar. Three marine coccoids contain only monoenoic and dienoic C 19 hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons of the remaining eight species are C 15 to C 18 . Hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight (C 20 or more) were not detected. Blue-green algae do not appear to be the source material for the long-chain (greater than 20 carbons) hydrocarbons found in ancient sediments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
