contents Lipids, humic acids, and kerogens were isolated from Site 582 sediment cores. The amount of each organic fraction in the samples taken from 5.6 to 694 m sub-bottom is almost unrelated to depth of the sample. A study of the oxidation of organic matter by the alkaline KMnO4 method reveals that distribution of polymethylene chain lengths of the kerogens and humic acids in the marine sediments differ from those in lacustrine sediments. The order of abundance of these chains in the sediments is: kerogens, 52-66% of total methylene chains; humic acids, 25-33%; and lipids, 8-16%. The results suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids (>=4 double bonds) may be important in the formation of polymethylene chains of kerogens and humic acids in marine sediments.
