Lipids of the ultra‐thin square halophilic archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi
Archaea, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 177-183, 2008., 2008 The lipid composition of the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi was investigated by thin‐layer chromatography and electrospray ionization‐mass spectrometry. The analysis of neutral lipids showed the presence of vitamin MK‐8, squalene, carotene, bacterioruberin and several retinal isomers.
