We analyzed dissolved combined amino acids (DCAA) and dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) in interstitial waters in order to characterize the amino acids in dissolved organic matter. The DFAA was predominant over the DCAA in interstitial waters at Sites 689 and 690, which contradicted the previous results from interstitial water and seawater studies. The DCAA in the interstitial waters probably originated from calcareous biogenic debris with less amounts of siliceous debris. Although glutamic acid constituted 41% of the total concentration of DCAA, it accounted for only 1% of the total concentration of DFAA due to the adsorption and/or reaction with biogenic carbonate. Ornithine, a nonprotein amino acid, is a decomposed product of arginine and made up 17 mol% of the total DFAA and. The total hydrolyzable amino acids (= DCAA+DFAA) accounted for 5 to 28% of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, which implied that high molecular weight organic matter was a major contributor for the DOM (dissolved organic matter) in interstitial waters. Fairly positive correlation between the dissolved manganese and the total DCAA values suggested that the redox condition plays a significant role in controlling the total DCAA content. A small decrease in the sulfate concentration in the interstitial waters from both sites suggested fairly low microbial activity by sulfate-reducing bacteria.completedGeochemistry of rocks, soils, and sedimentsOceanographyadsorptionamino acidsAntarctic OceancarbonEhgeochemistryLeg 113Maud RiseOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 689ODP Site 690organic acidsorganic carbonorganic compoundssea waterSouthern OceanwaterWeddell Seaurn:org.iodp:exp:113urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:113:site:689urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:113urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:113:site:690urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:113urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation1.12183.0600-65.0938-64.3100
