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 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.

Structure-function relationships in pure archaeal bipolar tetraether lipids. [PDF]
Chem Sci, 2023 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.

Influence of Growth Phase, pH, and Temperature on the Abundance and Composition of Tetraether Lipids in the Thermoacidophile Picrophilus torridus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The abundance and composition of glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) and glycerol tribiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (GTGT) lipids were determined as a function of growth phase as a proxy for nutrient availability, the pH of growth medium ...

Provenance of tetraether membrane lipids in a large temperate lake (Loch Lomond, UK): implications for glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT)-based palaeothermometry [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 The application of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT)-based palaeoenvironmental proxies, such as the branched vs. isoprenoidal tetratether (BIT) index, TEX86 and the MBT–CBT palaeothermometer, has lately been expanded to lacustrine sediments ...

The Role of Tetraether Lipid Composition in the Adaptation of Thermophilic Archaea to Acidity [PDF]
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 ...
