Abstract
Bio- and geohopanoid distributions with depth from the upper sediment layers (25 cm) of Lake Constance (Germany) indicate that hopanoid prod ucing bacteria were present in significant amounts either in the water column above the sediment or in the top layer of the sediment. Dihomo hopan-32-ol is shown to be representative of the total hopanoid conten t of the sediment and its distribution is tentatively correlated with the eutrophication process which has occurred in Lake Constance over t he past 50 years.
