Biogeochemistry of hadal trenches: Recent developments and future perspectives

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the hadal biogeochemistry in four aspects: food supply and its effect on hadal life, hadal carbon cycle, microbial-mediated stable carbon isotope fractionation in biosynthesis of lipids under high hydrostatic pressures, and pollution in the Hadal trenches.

Seasonal variability in concentrations and fluxes of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers in Huguangyan Maar Lake, SE China: Implications for the applicability of the MBT-CBT paleotemperature proxy in lacustrine settings

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution and abundance of branched tetraethers in all samples were determined and GDGT-based temperatures were calculated, and the concentrations and fluxes of GDGTs of settling particles in HML were dominated by BRGs, with a minor contribution of isoprenoid homologues.

A Late Miocene terrestrial temperature history for the northeastern Tibetan Plateau's period of tectonic expansion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a terrestrial paleotemperature record spanning ~12.7-5.2 Ma based on tetraether lipids extracted from the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.

Depth-related differences in archaeal populations impact the isoprenoid tetraether lipid composition of the Mediterranean Sea water column

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential causes of this bias by studying both the archaeal diversity as well as the intact polar lipid (IPL) GDGT composition in the Mediterranean water column by a combined 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and a lipidomic approach on suspended particulate matter (SPM) at different water depths.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present

TL;DR: This work focuses primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records.

Archaea in coastal marine environments.

TL;DR: Evidence for the widespread occurrence of unusual archaea in oxygenated coastal surface waters of North America is provided and it is suggested that these microorganisms represent undescribed physiological types of archaea, which reside and compete with aerobic, mesophilic eubacteria in marine coastal environments.

Isolation of an autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing marine archaeon

TL;DR: The isolation of a marine crenarchaeote that grows chemolithoautotrophically by aerobically oxidizing ammonia to nitrite—the first observation of nitrification in the Archaea is reported, suggesting that nitrifying marine Cren archaeota may be important to global carbon and nitrogen cycles.
