A comparative genomics study of genetic products potentially encoding ladderane lipid biosynthesis (2009)

Rattray, Jayne E, Strous, Marc, Op Den Camp, Huub JM, Schouten, Stefan, Jetten, Mike SM, Damsté, Jaap

Abstract Background The fatty acids of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria contain linearly concatenated cyclobutane moieties, so far unique to biology. These moieties are under high ring...

Tropical sea temperatures in the high-latitude South Pacific during the Eocene (2009)

Hollis, Christopher J., Handley, Luke, Crouch, Erica M., Morgans, Hugh E.G., Baker, Joel A., Creech, John, ...

Sea-surface temperature (SST) estimates of ~30 °C from planktic foraminifera and archaeal membrane lipids in bathyal sediments in the Canterbury Basin, New Zealand, support paleontological evidence...

Structural and stable carbon isotope studies of lipids in immature sulphur-rich sediments. (2009)

Schouten, Stefan

The work described in this thesis aims to decipher the biogeochemical information contained in sulphur-rich organic matter present in immature sediments. Previous studies have shown that...

Proteomic analysis of secreted membrane vesicles of archaeal Sulfolobus species reveals the presence of endosome sorting complex components (2009)

Boekema, Egbert J., Schouten, Stefan, Folea, Mihaela, Schwarz, Heinz, Hobel, Cedric F.V., Pitcher, Angela, ...

The crenarchaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, S. solfataricus and S. tokodaii, release membrane vesicles into the medium. These membrane vesicles consist of tetraether lipids and are coated with an...

Biophysical properties of membrane lipids of anammox bacteria: II. Impact of temperature and bacteriohopanoids (2009)

Boumann, Henry A., Stroeve, Pieter, Longo, Marjorie L., Poolman, Bert, Kuiper, Johanna M., Hopmans, Ellen C., ...

Anammox bacteria possess unique membranes that are mainly comprised of phospholipids with extraordinary “ladderane” hydrocarbon chains containing 3 to 5 linearly concatenated cyclobutane moieties...

Biophysical properties of membrane lipids of anammox bacteria: I. Ladderane phospholipids form highly organized fluid membranes (2009)

Boumann, Henry A., Longo, Marjorie L., Stroeve, Pieter, Poolman, Bert, Hopmans, Ellen C., Stuart, Marc C.A., ...

Anammox bacteria that are capable of anaerobically oxidizing ammonium (anammox) with nitrite to nitrogen gas produce unique membrane phospholipids that comprise hydrocarbon chains with three or five...

Presence and activity of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria at deep-sea hydrothermal vents (2009)

BYRNE, Nathalie, Strous, Marc, CREPEAU, Valentin, Kartal, Boran, Birrien, Jean-Louis, Schmid, Markus, ...

Recent studies indicate that ammonia is an important electron donor for the oxidation of fixed nitrogen, both in the marine water column and sediments. This process, known as anammox, has so far only...

Fluxes and distribution of tetraether lipids in an equatorial African lake: Constraints on the application of the TEX86 palaeothermometer and BIT index in lacustrine settings (2009)

Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S, Ossebaar, Jort, Abbas, Ben, Schouten, Stefan, Verschuren, Dirk

The distribution of isoprenoid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids was studied in material from various sources in and around Lake Challa, a crater lake on the...

Altitudinal shifts in the branched tetraether lipid distribution in soil from Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania): Implications for the MBT/CBT continental palaeothermometer (2008)

Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S, Ossebaar, Jort, Schouten, Stefan, Verschuren, Dirk

The distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids in sixteen soil samples from an altitudinal transect on the southeastern slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) was...
