Due to their lithotrophic metabolisms, morphological complexity and conspicuous appearance, members of the Beggiatoaceae have been extensively studied for more than …
The influence of oxidation-reduction (redox) potential on the expression of biomolecules is a topic of ongoing exploration in geobiology. In this study, we investigate the novel possibility …
The glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids of archaea and bacteria have been extensively studied in both modern and ancient wetlands, but their specific biological …
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are among the most abundant microbes in the oceans and are one of the major sources of glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in the …
The generation of hydrogen and reduced carbon compounds during serpentinization provides sustained energy for microorganisms on Earth, and possibly on other …
Abstract Knowledge of intact polar membrane lipids (IPLs) is central to investigations of the physiology of archaea in cultures and their prevalence in environmental samples. IPLs are …

Archaea play an important role in marine biogeochemical cycle; however, their phylogenetic distribution and lipid composition in the hadal zone (6–11 km water depth) are poorly …
Distributional patterns of intact polar lipids (IPLs) suggest that archaea are abundant in marine subsurface sediments. However, the production of archaeal lipids remains largely …
