Archaeal lipids and their biotechnological applications

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1995
The lipids of Archaea, based on glycerol isopranoid ethers, can be used taxonomically to distinguish between phenotypic subgroups of the domain to delineate them clearly from all other organisms. This review is a general survey of the structural features of archaeal lipids and how they relate to survival in the harsh environments in which the Archaea ...

Archaeal lipids

Progress in Lipid Research, 2023
The major archaeal membrane glycerolipids are distinguished from those of bacteria and eukaryotes by the contrasting stereochemistry of their glycerol backbones, and by the use of ether-linked isoprenoid-based alkyl chains rather than ester-linked fatty acyl chains for their hydrophobic moieties.

A re-evaluation of the archaeal membrane lipid biosynthetic pathway [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2014
Archaea produce unique membrane lipids in which isoprenoid alkyl chains are bound to glycerol moieties via ether linkages. As cultured representatives of the Archaea have become increasingly available throughout the past decade, archaeal genomic and membrane lipid-composition data have also become available.

Self-assembly and biophysical properties of archaeal lipids

Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2022
Archaea constitute one of the three fundamental domains of life. Archaea possess unique lipids in their cell membranes which distinguish them from bacteria and eukaryotes. This difference in lipid composition is referred to as ‘Lipid Divide' and its origins remain elusive.

Archaeal tetraether bipolar lipids: Structures, functions and applications

Biochimie, 2009
Archaea have developed specific tools permitting life under harsh conditions and archaeal lipids are one of these tools. This microreview describes the particular features of tetraether-type archaeal lipids and their potential applications in biotechnology.

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids: Unique Structures and Applications

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2002
The extremely stable biomolecules manufactured by organisms from extreme environments are of great scientific and engineering interest in the development of robust and stable industrial biocatalysts. Identification of molecules that impart stability under extremes will also have a profound impact on our understanding of cellular survival.

Archaeal Lipids: Innovative Materials for Biotechnological Applications

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2008
AbstractThis microreview focuses on the development of diether‐type and tetraether‐type archaeal lipids as innovative materials for biotechnological applications, with special attention to synthetic analogues as well as to recent natural lipid structures.

Comparison of Lipid-Containing Bacterial and Archaeal Viruses

2015
Lipid-containing bacteriophages were discovered late and considered to be rare. After further phage isolations and the establishment of the domain Archaea, several new prokaryotic viruses with lipids were observed. Consequently, the presence of lipids in prokaryotic viruses is reasonably common.

Thermal conductivity and rectification in asymmetric archaeal lipid membranes

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2018
Nature employs lipids to construct nanostructured membranes that self-assemble in an aqueous environment to separate the cell interior from the exterior environment. Membrane composition changes among species and according to environmental conditions, which allows organisms to occupy a wide variety of different habitats. Lipid bilayers are phase-change
