Lipid biomarker data relating to anammox bacteria in sediment records containing Mediterranean sapropels (NERC Grant NE/N011112/1)

Spreadsheet containing three tabs of biomarker concentration data for three Mediterranean sapropel records. Core LC21 was collected at 1522m water depth in the Aegean Sea by the R/V Marion Dufresne. An S5 sapropel (core 64PE406-E1) at a water depth of 1760m in the eastern basin aboard the R/V Pelagia. Site 967 of ODP Leg 160 was located at a water depth of 2560 m, south of Cyprus on the lower northern slope of Eratosthenes Seamount, in the eastern Levantine Basin Three core records were extracted for lipid biomarkers and analysed using HPLC and UHPLC-MS. The data and the interpretation of it is available in the published paper; Rush et al., 2019 https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/16/2467/2019/
