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 …

The discovery of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), now generally recognized to exert
primary control over ammonia oxidation in terrestrial, marine, and geothermal habitats …

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

Ammonia oxidation is the first step in nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle
that results in the formation of nitrate through microbial activity,. The increase in nitrate …

Thaumarchaeota range among the most abundant archaea on Earth. Initially classified as
'mesophilic Crenarchaeota', comparative genomics has recently revealed that they form a …

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

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 …

Archaeal membrane lipids are widely used for paleotemperature reconstructions, yet these
molecular fossils also bear rich information about ecology and evolution of marine ammonia …

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 …
