Description

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the diversity and ecology of alkenone-producing haptophyte algae. Focusing on lake-dwelling haptophytes, this thesis describes the paleoclimate implications of haptophyte diversity. Additionally, this thesis describes the isolation and cultivation of novel haptophyte species and the characterization of their alkenone lipid profiles.
