Abstract

Dissolved organic matter in natural water was classified into a labile and a refractory fraction according to the decomposition properties for microorganisms. In decomposition experiments of dissolved organic matter from an eutrophic small lake in Japan, dissolved amino acids and dissolved carbohydrates fractions could be confirmed to be the labile fractions of dissolved organic matter.
