Gene Deletions Leading to a Reduction in the Number of Cyclopentane Rings in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius Tetraether Lipids. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2018 The cell membrane of (hyper)thermophilic archaea, including the thermoacidophile Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, incorporates dibiphytanylglycerol tetraether lipids.

Planktonic Euryarchaeota Are a Significant Source of Archaeal Tetraether Lipids in the Ocean [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Archaea are ubiquitous in marine plankton, and fossil forms of archaeal tetraether membrane lipids in sedimentary rocks document their participation in marine biogeochemical cycles for >100 million years.

Planktonic Archaeal Ether Lipid Origins in Surface Waters of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 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 ...

Application of microbial membrane tetraether lipids in speleothems
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs), which are derived from microbial membranes, occur widely in soils, peats, lake sediments, marine sediments, hot springs, and other environments.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 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.

Functionalized Membrane Domains: An Ancestral Feature of Archaea?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacteria and Eukarya organize their plasma membrane spatially into domains of distinct functions. Due to the uniqueness of their lipids, membrane functionalization in Archaea remains a debated area. A novel membrane ultrastructure predicts that monolayer
