Lipid Hydrogen Stable Isotope Probing Reveals Decadal-Scale Generation Times for Archaea in Hot Spring Sediments

Carolynn M. Harris, Sebastian Kopf, Maximiliano J. Amenábar…·William D. Leavitt

This study uses lipid hydrogen stable isotope probing to estimate archaeal generation times in hot spring sediments, finding decadal-scale rates in Yellowstone and slower rates in El Tatio.

Mode of carbon and energy metabolism shifts lipid composition in the thermoacidophile Acidianus

Jeemin H. Rhim, Alice Qinhua Zhou, Maximiliano J. Amenábar…·William D. Leavitt

This study shows that changes in energy and carbon metabolism in Acidianus sp. DS80 significantly affect the ring index of its membrane lipids, indicating a link between cellular energy state and lipid composition.
