Abstract
► LC-MS and NMR used to characterize diatom frustule bound LCPAs in Southern Ocean, Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific sediments. ► Clear regional differences are shown in composition and structural characteristics. ► SEM/EDXA showed that purified LCPAs re-direct the formation of silica nanospheres in vitro. ► LCPAs constitute useful biological markers of diatom input to sediments.
