Description

Purines and pyrimidines are major chemical components of organisms. These bases are thought to play an important role on marine ecosystem and organic geochemistry. Therefore, cleanup procedures were developed for the determination of these bases in marine environmental samples. The separation and determination methods of uracil, thymine, cytosine, adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine were developed by HPLC using cation exchange mode. The present methods were rapid and convenient, as compared with those previously used. The data obtained as total purines and pyrimidines varied from 0.3 to 9.3 vg/l for suspended particles in seawater and 4 to 54 μg/g for sediment core samples obtained from Harima-Nada of Seto Inland Sea in Japan.
