Geochemical Function of Blue-Green Algae (Cyanobacteria) in the Formation of Vanadium-Nicel Complex of an Organic Matter in Epicontinental Water Bodies
The paper analyzes the available data on the presence of metals in various types of oils. Most studies on this issue, shows that the number of primary metal in the oil is vanadium, the second - nickel. Both metals are present in the heavy oil in the form of metalloporfirin complexes, this fact is considered to be the main evidence of organic origin of oil. A function of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in the processes of mass formation of original organic substance of epicontinental water bodies and formation in it an amount and ration of vanadium-nicel metallo - porphyrin complexes having different characteristics for each sedimentation basins and possible zones of oil generation is considered.
