Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) have substantial effects on the global ecology and
biogeochemical processes of marine microbes. However, the diversity and activity of OMZ …

The deep-sea is characterized by extreme conditions, such as high hydrostatic pressure
(HHP) and near-freezing temperature. Piezophiles, microorganisms adapted to high …

Ocean acidification (OA) is one of many major global climate changes that pose a variety of
risks to marine ecosystems in different ways. Meanwhile, there is growing concern about …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are widespread but unique membrane-
spanning lipids of many Archaea and some Bacteria. However, their specific biological …

Methanotrophic bacteria play a key role in limiting methane emissions from lakes. It is
generally assumed that methanotrophic bacteria are mostly active at the oxic‐anoxic …

Isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs) are membrane lipids of Archaea.
Organic biomarker proxies associated with these lipids, such as the TEX 86 …

The widespread use of plastics and their low recycling rate has led to a very serious
environmental problem, as plastics accumulate at an alarming rate, with effects that have not …

Lake sediments are important archives of continental climate history, and their lipid
biomarker content can be exploited to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions. Branched …

Archaea are important players in marine biogeochemical cycles, and their membrane lipids
are useful biomarkers in environmental and geobiological studies. However, many archaeal …

Heterocytous cyanobacteria are important players in the carbon and nitrogen cycle. They
can fix dinitrogen by using heterocytes, specialized cells containing the oxygen-sensitive …
