For the quantitative determination of traces of fatty acids in pore water, several gas and liquid chromatographic methods were tested and discussed. Direct determination by gas-liquid chromatography with the use of formic acid-saturated carrier gas was found to be the least laborious method, but it is only recommended for the determination of volatile acids such as acetate and higher homologs. For the determination of lactate and formate, a derivatization procedure is necessary. The determination of these acids as phenacyl or benzyl esters was complicated by contaminants in the reagents. For this reason, a high-pressure liquid chromatography procedure with 4-bromomethyl-7-methoxycoumarin as a fluorescent labeling reagent is preferred. With this method, lactic, acetic, and formic acids could be demonstrated simultaneously at the nanogram level in 5-ml samples. Profiles of these acids in the sediment of Lake Vechten were measured, and they showed correlations with sulfate-reducing and methanogenic bacterial activities.
