A comparison of total LCA content with the qPCR-determined abundance of Isochrysis in the Kusai Lake sediment core.
(a) Temporal change of total LCA content; (b) Temporal change of the 23S rDNA copies per gram of TOC. Statistical analysis showed that they were non-parametrically correlated with each other (Spearman's rS = 0.674, p = 0.000).
