Application of microbial membrane tetraether lipids in speleothems

Application of NBD-Labeled Lipids in Membrane and Cell Biology

The fluorescent NBD group has come a long way in terms of biological applications since its discovery a few decades back. Although the field of fluorescently labeled lipids has grown over the years with the introduction of new fluorescent labels, NBD-labeled lipids continue to be a popular choice in membrane and cell biological studies due to desirable fluorescence characteristics of the NBD gr...

application of brand personality scale in automobile industry: the study of samand’s brand personality dimensions

این تحقیق شخصیت برند سمند را در ایران با استفاده از مدل پنج بعدی آکر (1997) بعنوان یک چهارچوب بطور توصیفی سنجیده است. بنابر این چهارچوب که دراصل در 42 جزء (42 ویزگی شخصیتی) ودر پنج بعد شخصیتی طراحی شده بود ودر کشورها وصنایع مختلف آزموده شده بود, پرسنامه به زبان فارسی ترجمه شده و با استفاده از روشهای ترجمه معکوس و مصاحبه عمیق با 12 متخصص ایرانی به 38 جزء کاهش یافت. و نظرسنجی ای در پنج نمایندگی ا...

4 Microbial Lipids

Planktonic Euryarchaeota are a significant source of archaeal tetraether lipids in the ocean.

Archaea are ubiquitous in marine plankton, and fossil forms of archaeal tetraether membrane lipids in sedimentary rocks document their participation in marine biogeochemical cycles for >100 million years. Ribosomal RNA surveys have identified four major clades of planktonic archaea but, to date, tetraether lipids have been characterized in only one, the Marine Group I Thaumarchaeota. The membra...

Proportions of diether, macrocyclic diether, and tetraether lipids in Methanococcus jannaschii grown at different temperatures.

Growth of Methanococcus jannaschii over a wide temperature range (47 to 75 degrees C) is correlated with an ability to alter dramatically the proportions of three ether lipid cores. These lipids shifted from predominantly diether (2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol) at the lower growth temperatures to macrocyclic diether and tetraether at near optimal growth temperatures. Lipid head groups varied as...
