Liposomes and planar membranes made of archaea or archaea-like lipids exhibit many
unusual physical properties compared to model membranes composed of conventional …

Archaeosomes are a new generation of stable liposomes composed of natural ether lipids
extracted from archaea, or synthetic archaeal lipids. Archaea constitute a domain of single …

This review is a general survey of the properties of membranes formed by tetraether lipids
extracted from microorganisms living in extreme conditions, named Archaea. After …

Membrane lipids of Archaea are unique and distinct from those found in Eukarya and
Bacteria. The polar lipids consist of isoprenoid chains, 20–40 carbons in length and usually …

The modification of archaeal lipid bilayer properties by the insertion of apolar molecules in
the lipid bilayer midplane has been proposed to support cell membrane adaptation to …

Archaeal plasma membranes appear to be extremely durable and almost impermeable to
water and ions, in contrast to the membranes of Bacteria and Eucaryota. Additionally, they …

Archaeosomes, liposomes made from the polar lipids extracted from the membranes of
Archaea, have been extensively studied for potential applications in drug and vaccine …

Liposomes are artificial, spherical, closed vesicles consisting of one or more lipid bilayer (s).
Liposomes made from ester phospholipids have been studied extensively over the last 3 …

Extreme environments are mainly occupied by Archaea that contain in their cytoplasmic
membrane unique mono-and bi-polar ether lipids that exhibit extraordinary resistance …

Thermoacidophilic archaea are able to survive in low pH environments by maintaining large
proton gradients across their cell membranes. The unique structure of the unipolar and …
