Tracing tetraether lipids from source to sink in the Rhône River system (NW Mediterranean) [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015 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).

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 ...

Engineering archaeal membrane‐spanning lipid GDGT biosynthesis in bacteria: Implications for early life membrane transformations [PDF]
mLifeEukaryotes are hypothesized to be archaeal–bacterial chimeras. Given the different chemical structures of membrane phospholipids in archaea and bacteria, transformations of membranes during eukaryogenesis that led to the bacterial‐type membranes of ...

Lipid hydrogen isotope compositions primarily reflect growth water in the model archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyThe stable hydrogen isotope composition (δ2H) of lipid biomarkers can track environmental processes and remain stable over geologically relevant time scales, enabling studies of past climate, hydrology, and ecology.

Production of branched tetraether lipids in the lower Pearl River and estuary: effects of extraction methods and impact on bGDGT proxies [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Branched glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (bGDGTs) are known as bacterial lipids that occur widely in terrestrial environments, particularly in anaerobic peat bogs and soil.

Novel Extended Tetraether Lipids Found in a High-CO<sub>2</sub> Geyser. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolCharacterisation of the archaeal lipidome of the CO2‐rich subsurface aquifer of the Geyser Andernach reveals novel extended tetraether lipids analogous to extended archaeols, likely produced by Candidatus Altiarchaeum, and potentially functioning as a membrane adaptation strategy to nutrient‐deprived conditions.
