Preservation and degradation of ancient organic matter in mid-Miocene Antarctic permafrost [PDF]
The Antarctic environment is amongst the coldest and driest environments on Earth. The ultraxerous soils in the McMurdo Dry Valleys support exclusively microbial communities, however, 15 million years ago, a tundra ecosystem analogous to present-day ...

Disentangling influences of climate variability and lake-system evolution on climate proxies derived from isoprenoid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs): the 250 kyr Lake Chala record [PDF]
High-resolution paleoclimate records from tropical continental settings are greatly needed to advance understanding of global climate dynamics. The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) project DeepCHALLA recovered a 214.8 m long ...

Nitrogen isotope evidence for expanded ocean suboxia in the early Cenozoic [PDF]
The million-year variability of the marine nitrogen cycle is poorly understood. Before 57 million years (Ma) ago, the ^(15)N/^(14)N ratio (δ^(15)N) of foraminifera shell-bound organic matter from three sediment cores was high, indicating expanded water ...

The Headgroup (A)Symmetry Strongly Determines the Aggregation Behavior of Single-Chain Phenylene-Modified Bolalipids and Their Miscibility with Classical Phospholipids [PDF]
In the present work, we describe the synthesis of two single-chain phenylene-modified bolalipids, namely PC-C17pPhC17-PC and PC-C17pPhC17-OH, with either symmetrical (phosphocholine) or asymmetrical (phosphocholine and hydroxyl) headgroups using a ...

Methane emission and consumption at a North Sea gas seep (Tommeliten area) [PDF]
The Tommeliten seepage area is part of the Greater Ekofisk area, which is situated above the Tommeliten Delta salt diapir in the central North Sea (56°29.90' N, 2°59.80' E, Norwegian Block 1/9, 75 m water depth).

Phase behavior of selected artificial lipids [PDF]
The flexibility of biomembranes is based on the physical-chemical properties of their main components - glycerophospholipids. The structure of these modular amphiphilic molecules can be modified through organic synthesis making it possible to study ...
