Alkenones are a class of unsaturated long-chain ketone biomarkers that have been used to
reconstruct sea surface temperature and, more recently, continental temperature, by way of …

Alkenones are C 35–C 42 polyunsaturated ketone lipids that are commonly employed to
reconstruct changes in sea surface temperature. However, their use in coastal seas and …

Long-chain alkenones (LCAs) produced by phylogenetically classified Groups 1 and 3
Isochrysidales are increasingly used for paleotemperature and/or paleosalinity …

Abstract The Black Sea underwent dramatic changes in salinity from the last glacial
maximum to Holocene as it evolved from a large inland lake to become a part of the global …

The unsaturation indices (U 37 K, U 37 K') of long chain alkenones are powerful
paleotemperature proxies and have been widely applied for sea surface temperature (SST) …

Alkenone-producing species have been recently found in diverse lacustrine environments,
albeit with taxonomic information derived indirectly from environmental genomic techniques …

Isochrysidales species of the phylum Haptophyta are the exclusive producers of C 37 to C
42 long chain alkyl ketones, also called long chain alkenones (LCAs). While LCA …

We report here our latest attempt to optimize gas chromatographic (GC) separation of long
chain alkenones and alkenoates from haptophyte cultures and sediments. Building upon the …

Alkenones are unique lipids produced by certain species of microalgae, well-known for use
in paleoclimatology, and more recently pursued to advance sustainability across multiple …

Alkenones are polyunsaturated long-chain methyl or ethyl ketones produced by species in
the Isochrysidales, an order of haptophyte algae. Based on phylogenetic data, members of …
