Carbon flows through a benthic food web: Integrating biomass, isotope and tracer data (2006, background): “Direct measurement of the §13C of bacterial biomass from field samples is currently impossible and can only be assessed using bacterial biomarkers such as specific bacterial fatty acids (PLFAs) as proxies (Boschker and Middelburg, 2002).”

Soil organic matter dynamics: a biological perspective derived from the use of compound-specific isotopes studies (2013, background): “This implies that such compounds should also have a low (14)C content as they are formed from pre-aged soil carbon (DeNiro and Epstein 1978; Boschker and Middelburg 2002).”

Reviews and syntheses: to the bottom of carbon processing at the seafloor (2017, background): “, phytodetritus) revealed rapid incorporation of 13C / 15N in physically separated organisms (macro- and meiofauna and foraminifera) and microbes, the latter via incorporation of tracers in biomarkers specific for certain microbial groups (Middelburg et al., 2000; Boschker and Middelburg, 2002; Veug”
Comparing marine primary production estimates through different methods and development of conversion equations (2014, methodology): “…method are that the 13 C-method allows primary production incorporated by different components of the food web to be resolved using compound-specific analyses (Boschker and Middelburg, 2002), and that 13 C is a natural stable carbon isotope, which does not involve any risks to the operator.”
Biomarker and carbon isotopic constraints on bacterial and algal community structure and functioning in a turbid, tidal estuary (2005, background): “Lipids derived from the biological membranes, such as phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA), offer interesting opportunities as specific markers are found in both bacteria and eukaryotic algae (Tunlid and White 1992; Canuel et al. 1995; Boschker and Middelburg 2002).”

Cyanobacteria as a carbon source for zooplankton in eutrophic Lake Taihu, China, measured by 13C labeling and fatty acid biomarkers (2012, methodology): “bloom was previously demonstrated by Christoffersen et al. (1990). Their results were based on carbon budgets combined with modeling.”
Does terrestrial organic carbon subsidize the planktonic food web in a clear‐water lake? (2007, background): “For simplicity, we refer hereafter to these two bacterial groups distinguished based on their PLFA biomarkers as gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, although we recognize that we are actually tracing a mixture of species in these categories (Boschker and Middelburg 2002; Evershed et al. 2006).”
