| Popis: | The amino acid compositions of stromatolitic stalagmites from cave entrances and stalagmites from the dark zone of caves have been determined and compared. Stromatolitic stalagmites were found to contain relatively high concentrations of protein amino acids (0.1–0.6% w/w) and diaminopimelic acid (0.004–0.012% w/w), while other stalagmites were essentially devoid of such organic compounds ( |
