TL;DR: In this article, an irrigation experiment to activate drip sites within a hydrogeochemically well-characterised cave was conducted to identify the source of speleothem glycerol dialkyl tetraethers (GDGTs) preserved in speleothems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of homoglycerol- and dihomoglycerol-containing isoprenoid tetraether lipid cores in aquatic sediments and a soil
TL;DR: This article showed that the structures are based on polyols not reported in archaeal membrane lipids, such as homoglycerol (GH; C4H8O3) or dihomoglomerol (GDH; C5H10O3), which replace one of the terminal glycerol moieties in the diglycerol lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cell Membrane of Sulfolobus spp.—Homeoviscous Adaption and Biotechnological Applications
TL;DR: This review summarizes the influence of environmental parameters on the cell membrane of Sulfolobus spp.
Dissertation
Development of biomarker-based proxy methods for reconstructing the late Quaternary sea ice history in the Barents Sea
TL;DR: This paper investigated the potential of incorporating multiple biomarkers to characterise contrasting sea ice and productivity conditions in the contemporary Barents Sea, applying the findings for paleo-reconstructions encompassing both abrupt and gradual climate change.

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT) distributions from soil to cave: refining the speleothem paleothermometer
Andy Baker,Alison J. Blyth,Catherine N. Jex,James A. McDonald,Martijn Woltering,Stuart J. Khan +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the glycerol dialkyl glycerolic tetraether (GDGT) paleothermometer has potential application as a speleothem paleoclimate proxy.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Martin Könneke,Anne E. Bernhard,Anne E. Bernhard,José R. de la Torre,Christopher B. Walker,John B. Waterbury,David A. Stahl +6 more
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.
