Archaebacterial glycerol-bisdiphytanyl-glycerol tetraether core lipids containing from one to eight cyclopentane rings could be resolved from each other and from the parent uncyclized C40, C40 lipid by TLC. The core lipids of examples from the genera Methanobacterium, Methanobrevibacter, Methanogenium and Methanoplanus did not contain cyclized forms of glycerol-bisdiphytanyl-glycerol tetraethers, whereas the core lipids of Methanosarcina barkeri contained glycerol-bisdiphytanyl-glycerol tetraethers with from one to three cyclopentane rings in each C40 isopranoid chain.
含有1至8个环戊烷环的古细菌甘油-双植烷酰甘油四醚核心脂质，可通过薄层色谱法彼此分离，并与母体未环化的C40、C40脂质分离。甲烷杆菌属、甲烷短杆菌属、产甲烷菌属和甲烷平盘菌属的示例核心脂质不包含甘油-双植烷酰甘油四醚的环化形式，而巴氏甲烷八叠球菌的核心脂质在每个C40类异戊二烯链中含有带有1至3个环戊烷环的甘油-双植烷酰甘油四醚。
