Microbial ecology of the stratified water column of the Black Sea as revealed by a comprehensive biomarker study (2007, background): “Recent evidence, however, shows that hopanoids are also biosynthesized by anaerobic iron reducing (Fisher et al., 2005; Härtner et al., 2005), ammonium oxidizing (Sinninghe Damsté et al.”
Microbiological processes in banded iron formation deposition (2013, background): “In fact, Geobacter sulfurreducens actually produces a wide variety of complex hopanoids structurally related to 2amethylhopane under strictly anoxic conditions in pure culture (Fischer et al., 2005; H€artner et al., 2005).”
Building the Biomarker Tree of Life (2005, background): “This approach suggests that future investigations of the source-specifi city of biomarkers will focus on simultaneous characterization both of the lipid products and of the genes that produce them (e.g., Bode et al. 2003; Pearson et al. 2003; Fischer et al. 2005).”
The organic geochemistry of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids: A review (2013, background): “Forster et al. (2007a) analyzed a black shale section deposited during the Cenomanian–Turonian OAE2 in the tropical proto-North Atlantic and again found a much higher temperature [34–37 C when recalibrated using Eq.”
