From ether to acid: a plausible degradation pathway of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are ubiquitous microbial lipids with extensive demonstrated and potential roles as paleoenvironmental proxies.

Marine Group II Euryarchaeota Contribute to the Archaeal Lipid Pool in Northwestern Pacific Ocean Surface Waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Planktonic archaea include predominantly Marine Group I Thaumarchaeota (MG I) and Marine Group II Euryarchaeota (MG II), which play important roles in the oceanic carbon cycle. MG I produce specific lipids called isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol

Coherent millennial-scale patterns in Uk'37 and TEX86H temperature records during the penultimate interglacial-to-glacial cycle in the western Mediterranean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The TEX86H temperature proxy is a relatively new proxy based on crenarchaeotal lipids and has rarely been applied together with other temperature proxies. In this study, we applied the TEX86H on a sediment core from the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean,

Membrane-spanning lipids for an uncompromised monitoring of membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
A Förster resonance energy transfer-based fusion and transfer assay was developed to study, in model membranes, protein-mediated membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer of fluorescent sphingolipid analogs.

The Polar Lipid Fraction E from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius Can Be Used as Liposomal Drug Stabilizing Agents to Reduce the Leakage of the Antivascular Drug Combretastatin A4 Disodium Phosphate from Tetraether/Diester Hybrid Archaeosomes

open access: yesBiophysica, 2021
Liposomes have many advantages as therapeutic capsules over free drugs such as small molecule drugs and nucleic acids. Cholesterol is commonly used as a membrane stabilizing agent in liposomal drugs (e.g., mRNA-lipid nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccines ...

Collapsed bipolar glycolipids at the air/water interface: Effect of the stereochemistry on the stretched/bent conformations.

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceThis article describes a comparative study of several bipolar lipids derived from tetraether structures. The sole structural difference between the main two glycolipids is a unique stereochemical variation on a cyclopentyl ring ...

Evidence of moisture control on the methylation of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers in semi-arid and arid soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The distribution of bacterial branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) is influenced by growth temperature and pH. This results in the widespread application of the brGDGT-based MBT(‘)/CBT proxy (MBT-methylation of branched tetraethers ...

Revised calibration of the mbt-cbt paleotemperature proxy based on branched tetraether membrane lipids in surface soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The MBT-CBT proxy for the reconstruction of paleotemperatures and past soil pH is based on the distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) membrane lipids.

Deglacial Permafrost Organic Carbon Delivery at the Northern Svalbard Continental Margin: Insights From Tetraether Lipids and Plant Biomarkers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Degradation of Arctic permafrost due to global warming and sea level rise could trigger positive feedbacks, exacerbating climate change. However, uncertainties remain on how permafrost systems may respond because we lack a complete understanding of the permafrost‐climate feedback.

Interannual and (multi-)decadal variability in the sedimentary BIT index of Lake Challa, East Africa, over the past 2200 years: assessment of the precipitation proxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The branched vs. isoprenoid tetraether (BIT) index is based on the relative abundance of branched tetraether lipids (brGDGTs) and the isoprenoidal GDGT crenarchaeol.
