The carotenoid pigments of surficial algal mat communities of a California absolute subtropical desert were isolated and characterized principally by means of high resolution mass spectrometry. The pigments were all oxidized keto-types, predominantly canthaxanthin, its isomers, and echinone. The carotenoid pattern suggests that the mats represent an old climax ecosystem in which the algal cells at the time of collection were starved for nitrogen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
