Purification of glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1989
A modified procedure for extraction and purification of hydrolyzed archaebacterial lipids is described. Lipids were extracted from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius using a Soxhlet extraction procedure followed by trichloroacetic acid solvent-extraction of the ...

OPTiMAL: a new machine learning approach for GDGT-based palaeothermometry [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2020
In the modern oceans, the relative abundances of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) compounds produced by marine archaeal communities show a significant dependence on the local sea surface temperature at the site of deposition. When preserved in

The effect of meter-scale lateral oxygen gradients at the sediment-water interface on selected organic matter based alteration, productivity and temperature proxies [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2012
A valid assessment of selective aerobic degradation on organic matter (OM) and its impact on OM-based proxies is vital to produce accurate environmental reconstructions. However, most studies investigating these effects suffer from inherent environmental

Planktonic Euryarchaeota are a significant source of archaeal tetraether lipids in the ocean [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance All three domains of life—Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea—are known to inhabit the marine water column from surface waters to great depth. Planktonic marine Archaea are comprised of two dominant groups—the Thaumarchaeaota and Euryarchaeota.

Variation of Isoprenoid GDGTs in the Stratified Marine Water Column: Implications for GDGT-Based TEX86 Paleothermometry

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs) derived from archaea are lipid biomarkers that exhibit high sensitivity to changes in water temperature, leading to the widespread application of the isoGDGT-based tetraether index of 86 carbon ...

Membrane-spanning lipids for an uncompromised monitoring of membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
A Förster resonance energy transfer-based fusion and transfer assay was developed to study, in model membranes, protein-mediated membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer of fluorescent sphingolipid analogs.

Carbon Oxidation State in Microbial Polar Lipids Suggests Adaptation to Hot Spring Temperature and Redox Gradients

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The influence of oxidation-reduction (redox) potential on the expression of biomolecules is a topic of ongoing exploration in geobiology. In this study, we investigate the novel possibility that structures and compositions of lipids produced by microbial

Identification and significance of unsaturated archaeal tetraether lipids in marine sediments [PDF]

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2014
RATIONALE Studies of archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in the environment and cultures have exclusively focused on compounds with fully saturated alkyl moieties. Here we report a number of novel unsaturated GDGTs (uns‐GDGTs) whose alkyl chains contain up to six double bonds and zero to ...
