- E. Hopmans, J. W. Weijers, E. Schefuß, Lydie Herfort, J. S. Damsté, Stefan Schouten
- Geology
- 30 July 2004
We propose a novel tracer for terrestrial organic carbon in sediments based on the analysis of tetraether lipids using high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS). Analysis of… Expand
Archaeal nitrification in the ocean

- 15 August 2006
Marine Crenarchaeota are the most abundant single group of prokaryotes in the ocean, but their physiology and role in marine biogeochemical cycles are unknown. Recently, a member of this clade was… Expand
Environmental controls on bacterial tetraether membrane lipid distribution in soils
- J. W. Weijers, Stefan Schouten, J. C. Donker, E. Hopmans, J. S. Damsté

Abstract Over the last years a novel group of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) membrane lipids has been discovered in peat bogs and soils. They consist of components with 4–6… Expand
Distributional variations in marine crenarchaeotal membrane lipids: a new tool for reconstructing ancient sea water temperatures?
- Stefan Schouten, E. Hopmans, E. Schefuß, J. S. Damsté
- Geology
- 30 November 2002
It has recently been shown that membrane lipids of marine crenarchaeota, a ubiquitous and abundant component of plankton, occur in relatively high concentrations in recent and ancient sediments. In… Expand
A microbial consortium couples anaerobic methane oxidation to denitrification
- A. Raghoebarsing, A. Pol, +8 authors M. Strous
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 13 April 2006
Modern agriculture has accelerated biological methane and nitrogen cycling on a global scale. Freshwater sediments often receive increased downward fluxes of nitrate from agricultural runoff and… Expand
Occurrence and distribution of tetraether membrane lipids in soils : Implications for the use of the TEX86 proxy and the BIT index
- J. W. Weijers, Stefan Schouten, O. Spaargaren, J. S. Damsté
- Geology
- 1 December 2006
A diverse collection of globally distributed soil samples was analyzed for its glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) membrane lipid content. Branched GDGTs, derived from anaerobic soil… Expand
The organic geochemistry of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids: A review
- Stefan Schouten, E. Hopmans, J. S. Damsté
- Biology
- 2013
Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are membrane lipids which were long thought to be synthesized mainly by archaea, organisms thought to be limited to extreme environments. Analysis… Expand
Revised calibration of the MBT–CBT paleotemperature proxy based on branched tetraether membrane lipids in surface soils
- F. Peterse, J. Meer, +5 authors J. S. Damsté
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2012
Abstract The MBT–CBT proxy for the reconstruction of paleotemperatures and past soil pH is based on the distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) membrane lipids. The… Expand
Candidatus "Scalindua brodae", sp. nov., Candidatus "Scalindua wagneri", sp. nov., two new species of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria.
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is both a promising process in wastewater treatment and a long overlooked microbial physiology that can contribute significantly to biological nitrogen cycling… Expand
New indices and calibrations derived from the distribution of crenarchaeal isoprenoid tetraether lipids: Implications for past sea surface temperature reconstructions
- J. Kim, J. V. D. Meer, +6 authors J. S. Damsté
- Environmental Science
- 15 August 2010
Abstract Several studies have shown that there is a strong relationship between the distribution of crenarchaeotal isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) and sea surface… Expand
