Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are membrane lipids which were long
thought to be synthesized mainly by archaea, organisms thought to be limited to extreme …

Molecular fossils (biomarkers) are abundant in organic rich natural archives such as peats
and lignites (fossilized peat), where their distribution is governed by their biological source …

The development of methods using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry to
analyze glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) has substantially expanded the …

Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate, occurs in a wide variety
of environments and plays a central role in the global nitrogen cycle. Catalyzed by the …

Glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are archaeal monolayer membrane lipids
that can provide a competitive advantage in extreme environments. Here, we identify a …

We propose a novel tracer for terrestrial organic carbon in sediments based on the analysis
of tetraether lipids using high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry …

It has recently been shown that membrane lipids of marine crenarchaeota, a ubiquitous and
abundant component of plankton, occur in relatively high concentrations in recent and …

Several studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between the distribution of
crenarchaeotal isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) and sea …

Over the last years a novel group of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT)
membrane lipids has been discovered in peat bogs and soils. They consist of components …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria
and Archaea that are ubiquitous in a range of natural archives and especially abundant in …
