Cyanobacteria have evolved since the early history of the Earth and played a critical role in
Earth's carbon cycle. However, the contribution of cyanobacteria to organic carbon burial …

In this review we look back on 30+ years of bacteriohopanepolyol (BHP) research within the
field of organic geochemistry. BHPs are ubiquitous, intact polar lipids in modern …

Abstract During the early Toarcian (Early Jurassic,~ 183 Ma) global climate and
environmental change profoundly impacted biogeochemical cycles and marine ecosystems …

The breakup of Gondwana resulted in sedimentary deposits recording lacustrine to marine
environmental transitions in the South Atlantic rift basins during the Early Cretaceous …

Phylogenetic trees illustrate evolutionary relationships between taxa or genes. Tree figures
are crucial when presenting results and data, and by creating clear and effective plots …

Twenty six samples of Permian high latitude sedimentary rocks from the southern Sydney
Basin were analysed using organic geochemical methods for their thermal maturity, organic …

Studying the response and recovery of marine microbial communities during mass extinction
events provides an evolutionary window through which to understand the adaptation and …

Fossilized lipids offer a rare glimpse into ancient ecosystems. 2-Methylhopanes in
sedimentary rocks were once used to infer the importance of cyanobacteria as primary …

Abstract The lacustrine Lucaogou Formation was deposited during the middle Permian in
the Junggar Basin, northwestern China. The depositional environment was an alkaline …

Bacteriohopanepolyols (BHPs) are widespread in bacteria and are used as lipid biomarkers
for specific bacterial activities and environmental changes. However, deposition and …
