Terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are the largest and most diverse class of organic
compounds in nature and are involved in many membrane-associated cellular processes …

Microbial lipid biomarkers preserved in geological archives can be used to explore past
climate changes. Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are unique …

Archaea synthesize isoprenoid-based ether-linked membrane lipids, which enable them to
withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high salinity, and …

The major archaeal membrane glycerolipids are distinguished from those of bacteria and
eukaryotes by the contrasting stereochemistry of their glycerol backbones, and by the use of …

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that
are frequently employed as paleoenvironmental proxies because of the strong empirical …

Archaea produce unique membrane-spanning lipids (MSLs), termed glycerol dialkyl glycerol
tetraethers (GDGTs), which aid in adaptive responses to various environmental challenges …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are microbial membrane-spanning lipids that
are produced in a variety of environments. To better understand the potentially confounding …

Glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are unique archaeal membrane‐
spanning lipids with 0–8 cyclopentane rings on the biphytanyl chains. The cyclization …

Bacterial membranes are composed of fatty acids (FAs) ester-linked to glycerol-3-
phosphate, while archaea have membranes made of isoprenoid chains ether-linked to …

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that
are widely used in terrestrial paleoclimatic reconstructions. Recent studies have reported …
