Archaeal Sources of Intact Membrane Lipid Biomarkers in the Oxygen Deficient Zone of the Eastern Tropical South Pacific

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Archaea are ubiquitous in the modern ocean where they are involved in the carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles. However, the majority of Archaea remain uncultured.

Insights into biomethane production and microbial community succession during semi-continuous anaerobic digestion of waste cooking oil under different organic loading rates

AMB Express, 2018
High content of lipids in food waste could restrict digestion rate and give rise to the accumulation of long chain fatty acids in anaerobic digester. In the present study, using waste cooking oil skimmed from food waste as the sole carbon source, the ...

Microbial diversity of a closed salt lagoon in the Puertecitos area, Upper Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 2018
Located 20 km south of Puertecitos on the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico, is a salt-crusted lagoon with a surface area of approximately 265,000 m2 that is isolated from the adjacent Upper Gulf of California by a 50-m wide berm.

Eukaryotic-Like Virus Budding in Archaea

mBio, 2016
Similar to many eukaryotic viruses (and unlike bacteriophages), viruses infecting archaea are often encased in lipid-containing envelopes. However, the mechanisms of their morphogenesis and egress remain unexplored.

Engineering Escherichia coli for the production of saturated archaeal lipids

Metabolic Engineering
Archaeal membrane phospholipids have a different chemical composition than the phospholipids found in bacteria and eukaryotes. Typically, in archaea, phospholipids consist of saturated isoprenoid chains that are ether-bonded to glycerol 1-phosphate whereas in bacteria and eukaryotes, the main phospholipids are fatty acyl chains ester-bonded to glycerol

Archaeal lipid vaccine adjuvants for induction of cell-mediated immunity

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2016
Liposomal vesicles (archaeosomes) composed of total polar lipids (TPL) or semi-synthetic glycerolipids, unique to the domain Archaea, constitute potent vaccine adjuvant and delivery systems. The characteristics of this adjuvant offer a novel prospect for the development of effective vaccines for emerging infections and cancers, which is reviewed in ...

Expanded Archaeal Genomes Shed New Light on the Evolution of Isoprenoid Biosynthesis

Microorganisms
Isoprenoids and their derivatives, essential for all cellular life on Earth, are particularly crucial in archaeal membrane lipids, suggesting that their biosynthesis pathways have ancient origins and play pivotal roles in the evolution of early life ...
