Co-variation of crenarchaeol and branched GDGTs in globally-distributed marine and freshwater sedimentary archives [PDF]

open access: yes
Two major types of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are commonly used in paleoecological and paleoclimatological reconstructions: isoprenoidal and branched GDGTs.

Evaluating Production of Cyclopentyl Tetraethers by Marine Group II Euryarchaeota in the Pearl River Estuary and Coastal South China Sea: Potential Impact on the TEX86 Paleothermometer

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
TEX86 [TetraEther indeX of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) with 86 carbon atoms] has been widely applied to reconstruct (paleo-) sea surface temperature.

Climate reconstructions based on GDGT and pollen surface datasets from Mongolia and Baikal area: calibrations and applicability to extremely cold–dry environments over the Late Holocene [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2021
Our understanding of climate and vegetation changes throughout the Holocene is hampered by representativeness in sedimentary archives. Potential biases such as production and preservation of the markers are identified by comparing these proxies with ...

Carbon isotopic composition of branched tetraether membrane lipids in soils suggest a rapid turnover and a heterotrophic life style of their source organism(s) [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2010
Branched Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane spanning lipids synthesised by as yet unknown bacteria that thrive in soils and peat.

Enhanced production of highly methylated brGDGTs linked to anaerobic bacteria from sediments of the Mariana Trench

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that are widely used in terrestrial paleoclimatic reconstructions. Recent studies have reported that brGDGTs can also be produced by marine bacteria.

Crenarchaeol

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
The basic structure and stereochemistry of the characteristic glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) membrane lipid of cosmopolitan pelagic crenarchaeota has been identified by high field two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques.

Reviews and syntheses: Best practices for the application of marine GDGTs as proxy for paleotemperatures: sampling, processing, analyses, interpretation, and archiving protocols [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
Marine glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are used in various proxies (such as TEX86) to reconstruct past ocean temperatures. Over 20 years of improvements in GDGT sample processing, analytical techniques, data interpretation and our ...

Hydroxylated isoprenoidal GDGTs in the Nordic Seas

open access: yes, 2013
Archaea modify their membrane lipid composition to maintain integrity and exchange capabilities across a wide temperature range. The number of rings in the tetraether structure increases with higher ambient temperatures.
