Planktonic Archaeal Ether Lipid Origins in Surface Waters of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Thaumarchaeota and Thermoplasmatota are the most abundant planktonic archaea in the sea. Thaumarchaeota contain tetraether lipids as their major membrane lipids, but the lipid composition of uncultured planktonic Thermoplasmatota representatives remains ...

Many Archaea produce membrane-spanning lipids that enable life in extreme environments. These isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) may contain up to eight cyclopentyl and one cyclohexyl ring, where higher degrees of cyclization ...

Structure-function relationships in pure archaeal bipolar tetraether lipids. [PDF]
A series of archaeal bipolar glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids were synthesized. Structural properties of self-assembled structures of GDGTs were studied and related to functional behavior such as membrane fusion.

Tracing tetraether lipids from source to sink in the Rhône River system (NW Mediterranean) [PDF]
In this study, we investigated soils and river suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected in the Rhône and its tributary basins as well as marine surface sediments taken in the Rhône prodelta (Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean).

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Drastic changes in the distribution of branched tetraether lipids in suspended matter and sediments from the Yenisei River and Kara Sea (Siberia): Implications for the use of brGDGT-based proxies in coastal marine sediments [PDF]
The distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in soils has been shown to correlate with pH and mean annual air temperature.

Depth-related distribution of a key gene of the tetraether lipid biosynthetic pathway in marine Thaumarchaeota. [PDF]
The distribution of isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) lipids synthesized by Thaumarchaeota has been shown to be temperature-dependent in world oceans.

Improvement of Pulmonary Photodynamic Therapy: Nebulisation of Curcumin-Loaded Tetraether Liposomes
Lung cancer is one of the most common causes for a high number of cancer related mortalities worldwide. Therefore, it is important to improve the therapy by finding new targets and developing convenient therapies.
