The kingdom Crenarchaeota is now known to include archaea which inhabit a wide variety of low-temperature environments. We report here lipid analyses of nonthermophilic crenarchaeotes, which revealed the presence of cyclic and acyclic dibiphytanylglycerol tetraether lipids. Nonthermophilic crenarchaeotes appear to be a major biological source of tetraether lipids in marine planktonic environments.
目前已知泉古菌门包括栖息在各种低温环境中的古菌。我们在此报告对非嗜热泉古菌的脂质分析，结果显示存在环状和非环状双植烷甘油四醚脂质。在海洋浮游环境中，非嗜热泉古菌似乎是四醚脂质的主要生物来源。
