Membrane homeoviscous adaptation in the piezo-hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus barophilus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The archaeon Thermococcus barophilus, one of the most extreme members of hyperthermophilic piezophiles known thus far, is able to grow at temperatures up to 103°C and pressures up to 80MPa. We analyzed the membrane lipids of T. barophilus by HPLC-MS as a

A laboratory experiment on the behaviour of soil-derived core and intact polar GDGTs in aquatic environments [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 We have performed incubation experiments in order to examine the behaviour of soil-derived branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) membrane lipids upon entering an aquatic environment and to evaluate the processes that potentially take ...

Oral delivery of vancomycin by tetraether lipid liposomes
European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2017 Despite the outstanding progress in modern medicine, the oral delivery of peptide drugs is limited until today due to their instability in the gastrointestinal tract and low mucosa penetration. To overcome these hurdles, liposomes containing the specific tetraether lipid GCTE (glycerylcaldityltetraether lipid) were examined.

Purification of glycerol dialkyl nonitol tetraether from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
Journal 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 ...

From soil to sea: sources and transport of organic carbon traced by tetraether lipids in the monsoonal Godavari River, India [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 Monsoonal rivers play an important role in the land-to-sea transport of soil-derived organic carbon (OC). However, spatial and temporal variation in the concentration, composition, and fate of this OC in these rivers remains poorly understood.
