Synthesis of Isotope Labeled Protocatechuic Acid-(13COOH)
A novel synthesis method of protocatechuic acid-(13COOH) was designed. 3,4-dimethoxy bromobenzene as raw material, Grignard reagent was prepared by Grignard reaction, then passed through the 13C labeled 13CO2 gas, the intermediate 3,4-dimethoxy benzoic ...

Microbial carbon recycling: an underestimated process controlling soil carbon dynamics – Part 2: A C3-C4 vegetation change field labelling experiment [PDF]
The mean residence times (MRT) of different compound classes of soil organic matter (SOM) do not match their inherent recalcitrance to decomposition. One reason for this is the stabilization within the soil matrix, but recycling, i.e.

A 15N stable isotope semen label to detect mating in the malaria mosquito
In previous studies it was determined that the stable isotope 13-carbon can be used as a semen label to detect mating events in the malaria mosquito Anopheles arabiensis. In this paper we describe the use of an additional stable isotope, 15-nitrogen (15N)

Isotopic Traceability (13C and 18O) of Greek Olive Oil
In recent years, isotopic analysis has been proven a valuable tool for the determination of the origin of various materials. In this article, we studied the 18O and 13C isotopic values of 210 olive oil samples that were originated from different regions ...

The effectiveness of using carbonate isotope measurements of body tissues to infer diet in human evolution: Evidence from wild western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)* [PDF]
Changes in diet throughout hominin evolution have been linked with important evolutionary changes. Stable carbon isotope analysis of inorganic apatite carbonate is the main isotopic method used to reconstruct fossil hominin diets; to test its ...

Combined stable isotope and gut contents analysis of food webs in plant-dominated, shallow lakes [PDF]
1. To determine feeding links between primary producers, invertebrates and fish, stable isotope analyses and gut content analyses of fish were conducted on the components of four shallow, eutrophic to hypertrophic, plant-dominated lakes. 2.
