Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments

TL;DR: Recent progress in the study of marine microbial surface colonization and biofilm development is synthesized and discussed and questions are posed for targeted investigation of surface-specific community-level microbial features to advance understanding ofsurface-associated microbial community ecology and the biogeochemical functions of these communities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and abundance of 6-methyl branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers in soils : Implications for palaeoclimate reconstruction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the fractional abundance of 6-methyl brGDGTs in globally distributed soils and showed that they are abundant components, comprising on average 24% of the total amount of brDGTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of improved chromatography on GDGT-based palaeoproxies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method based on two ultra-high performance liquid chromatography silica columns capable of separating a wide range of GDGTs with good resolution and which compares favorably with previously published methods.

Distribution of Complex and Core Lipids within New Hyperthermophilic Members of the Archaea Domain

TL;DR: Core and complex lipids of several new hyperthermophilic archaeal isolates were analyzed and different lipid structures are of help for a rapid and simple phylogenetic classification of the new isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kerogen-bound glycerol dialkyl tetraether lipids released by hydropyrolysis of marine sediments: A bias against incorporation of sedimentary organisms?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined abundances, distributions and stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) values of GDGTs and the diether archaeol in sediments from the Benguela Upwelling Region [Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1084] and a Mediterranean sapropel (S5).

Archaea in Black Sea water column particulate matter and sediments—evidence from ether lipid derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of these ether-linked isoprenoids throughout the water column and sediments suggests that Archaea are widely distributed in the Black Sea, while psychrophilic archaea related to hyperthermophiles are the likely sources of the cyclic isoprinoids.

Fervidicoccus fontis gen. nov., sp. nov., an anaerobic, thermophilic crenarchaeote from terrestrial hot springs, and proposal of Fervidicoccaceae fam. nov. and Fervidicoccales ord. nov.

TL;DR: Two novel thermophilic and slightly acidophilic strains were isolated from terrestrial hot springs of the Uzon caldera on the Kamchatka peninsula and are proposed to be assigned to a new genus and species, Fervidicoccus fontis, within the class Thermoprotei.

A range of ether core lipids from the methanogenic archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri

TL;DR: The core ether lipids of the methanogenic archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri were found to consist of C 20,C20 glycerol diether and trace amounts of C20,C25 glycerols diether.
