Sources and fate of amino sugars in coastal Peruvian sediments

Sources and fate of amino sugars in coastal Peruvian sediments

Amino sugars are involved in the marine carbon and nitrogen cycles and comprise a geochemically significant fraction of marine organic material (OM). However, information on abundance and distribution of these compounds in marine sediments is scarce. Three sediment cores (
