reported using gas chromatography. The substituent of phytane is phytanyl. Phytanyl groups are frequently found in archaeal membrane lipids of methanogenic...

Archaeol is a diether composed of two phytanyl chains linked to the sn-2 and sn-3 positions of glycerol. As its phosphate ester, it is a common component...

believed to be one of the most primitive lipids and a predecessor to phytanyl di-ethers found in later archaea. Terpenoid lipids are a group of lipids...

but highly methylated chains made up of saturated isoprenoid units (e.g. phytanyl). Among different groups of archaea, diverse modifications on the basic...

24–38 nm in diameter. The envelope has a bilayer structure and includes di-phytanyl tetraethers lipids. The capsid is elongated with a helical nucleocapsid...

spectrometric analysis. The lipid consists of a glycerol backbone with two C20 phytanyl ether chains attached, one of which has a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached...

uncyclized glycerol-dialkyl-glycerol-tetraether (GDGT) and traces of 2,3-di-o-phytanyl-sn-glycerol (diether). They are described as regularly irregularly shaped...

amounts of diglycerol tetraether lipids. Within glycerol diether lipids, phytanyl (C20) is the hydrocarbon component, and within diglycerol tetraether lipids...
