Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Archaeal Lipid Parallel GDGT-0 [PDF]
, 2021 Archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) are some of the most unusual membrane lipids identified in nature. These amphiphiles are the major constituents of the membranes of numerous Archaea, some of which are extremophilic organisms ...

Benthic archaea as potential sources of tetraether membrane lipids in sediments across an oxygen minimum zone [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Benthic archaea comprise a significant part of the total prokaryotic biomass in marine sediments. Recent genomic surveys suggest they are largely involved in anaerobic processing of organic matter, but the distribution and abundance of these archaeal ...

Bridging the membrane lipid divide: bacteria of the FCB group superphylum have the potential to synthesize archaeal ether lipids [PDF]
, 2021 Archaea synthesize membranes of isoprenoid lipids that are ether-linked to glycerol-1-phosphate (G1P), while Bacteria/Eukarya produce membranes consisting of fatty acids ester-bound to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P).

Bending Elasticity Modulus of Giant Vesicles Composed of Aeropyrum Pernix K1 Archaeal Lipid
Life, 2015 Thermally induced shape fluctuations were used to study elastic properties of giant vesicles composed of archaeal lipids C25,25-archetidyl (glucosyl) inositol and C25,25-archetidylinositol isolated from lyophilised Aeropyrum pernix K1 cells.

Resolving a piece of the archaeal lipid puzzle [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Lipid membranes are common to all cells, despite occurring in many different forms across Earth’s great biotic diversity. Among the most distinctive membranes are those formed by the archaea, whose lipids are characterized by sn -2,3-glycerol stereochemistry (in contrast to sn -1,2-glycerol in bacteria and eukarya), isoprenoid rather than acetyl ...

Archaeal glycerolipids are recognized by C-type lectin receptor Mincle [PDF]
, 2022 Recently, various metabolites derived from host microbes have been reported to modulate the immune system, with potential involvement in health or diseases. Archaea, prokaryotic organisms, are present in the human body, but their connection with the host

Archaeal tetraether lipids as tracers for past marine environmental change [PDF]
Archaea are single-celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl ...

Heat Stress Dictates Microbial Lipid Composition along a Thermal Gradient in Marine Sediments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Temperature exerts a first-order control on microbial populations, which constantly adjust the fluidity and permeability of their cell membrane lipids to minimize loss of energy by ion diffusion across the membrane.
