The Role of Tetraether Lipid Composition in the Adaptation of Thermophilic Archaea to Acidity
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Diether and tetraether lipids are fundamental components of the archaeal cell membrane. Archaea adjust the degree of tetraether lipid cyclization in order to maintain functional membranes and cellular homeostasis when confronted with pH and/or thermal ...

Mono- to tetra-alkyl ether cardiolipins in a mesophilic, sulfate-reducing bacterium identified by UHPLC-HRMSn: a novel class of membrane lipids [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe composition of membrane lipids varies in a number of ways as adjustment to growth conditions. Variations in head group composition and carbon skeleton and degree of unsaturation of glycerol-bound acyl or alkyl chains results in a high structural ...
