Oral delivery of vancomycin by tetraether lipid liposomes
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.
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]
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.

On Physical Properties of Tetraether Lipid Membranes: Effects of Cyclopentane Rings [PDF]
This paper reviews the recent findings related to the physical properties of tetraether lipid membranes, with special attention to the effects of the number, position, and configuration of cyclopentane rings on membrane properties. We discuss the findings obtained from liposomes and monolayers, composed of naturally occurring archaeal tetraether lipids

Identification and significance of unsaturated archaeal tetraether lipids in marine sediments [PDF]
RATIONALE Studies of archaeal glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in the environment and cultures have exclusively focused on compounds with fully saturated alkyl moieties. Here we report a number of novel unsaturated GDGTs (uns‐GDGTs) whose alkyl chains contain up to six double bonds and zero to ...
