A suite of 3-hydroxy (C_8-C_<30>) and (ω-1)-hydroxy (C_<22>-C_<30>) acids presenting the predominance of even-carbon numbers were found in the soil samples, while 2-hydroxy (C_8-C_<30>) and ω-hydroxy (C_8-C_<30>) acids showed no even-carbon predominance. These hydroxy acids are probably attributed to the degradation products of wind-transported cyanobacterial mats in and around streams, lakes and ponds, as well as to the past biological activity, involving bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi, rather than originating from the Beacon Supergroup of Gondwanaland sediments and living organisms.}, pages = {165--171}, title = {GEOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF HYDROXY ACIDS IN SOIL SAMPLES FROM THE McMURDO DRY VALLEYS, ANTARCTICA}, volume = {4}, year = {1990} }
