A comprehensive database for high-throughput identification of archaeal lipids using high-resolution mass spectrometry [PDF]

Nature Communications
Archaeal membrane lipids are markedly distinct from those in bacteria and eukaryotes, serving as biomarkers for unraveling their ecological and biogeochemical roles.

Marine Group II Euryarchaeota Contribute to the Archaeal Lipid Pool in Northwestern Pacific Ocean Surface Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Planktonic archaea include predominantly Marine Group I Thaumarchaeota (MG I) and Marine Group II Euryarchaeota (MG II), which play important roles in the oceanic carbon cycle. MG I produce specific lipids called isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol

Identification of a protein responsible for the synthesis of archaeal membrane-spanning GDGT lipids

Nature Communications, 2022
The cell membranes of many archaea contain characteristic membrane-spanning lipids known as glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers. Here, Zeng et al.

Engineering archaeal membrane‐spanning lipid GDGT biosynthesis in bacteria: Implications for early life membrane transformations

mLife
Eukaryotes are hypothesized to be archaeal–bacterial chimeras. Given the different chemical structures of membrane phospholipids in archaea and bacteria, transformations of membranes during eukaryogenesis that led to the bacterial‐type membranes of ...

Microbial decomposer diversity and metabolic function during the decomposition of brine shrimp carcasses in a saline lake [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Decomposition of brine shrimp carcasses has a crucial role in carbon cycling of saline lakes, yet the microbial dynamics remain poorly understood.

Uncovering the prevalence, key biogenesis enzymes, and biological significance of archaeal lipoproteins [PDF]

Nature Communications
Lipid-anchored proteins are integral components of cell surfaces. In bacteria, lipidation of proteins with a conserved lipobox motif ([L/V/I]−3 [A/S/T/V/I]−2 [G/A/S]−1 [C]+1) is catalyzed by prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase (Lgt).

Impacts of temperature and pH on the distribution of archaeal lipids in Yunnan hot springs, China [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
In culture experiments and many low temperature environments, the distribution of isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) commonly shows a strong correlation with temperature; however, this is often not the case in hot springs.

Planktonic Archaeal Ether Lipid Origins in Surface Waters of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Thaumarchaeota and Thermoplasmatota are the most abundant planktonic archaea in the sea. Thaumarchaeota contain tetraether lipids as their major membrane lipids, but the lipid composition of uncultured planktonic Thermoplasmatota representatives remains ...
