• Diagnostic lipid biomarker and stable carbon isotope signatures of microbial communities mediating the anaerobic oxidation of methane with sulphate (2008, background): “However, the suite of C depleted, bacterial lipids is surprisingly diverse (Hinrichs et al., 2000; Pancost et al., 2001; Elvert et al., 2003; Blumenberg et al., 2004).”
• Building the Biomarker Tree of Life (2005, background): “Hopanoids (Elvert et al. 2000; Pancost et al. 2000; Thiel et al. 2001, 2003) and fatty acids derived from phospholipids (e.g., Hinrichs et al. 2000) with highly depleted δ13C signatures are frequently found in the same samples as the archaeal biomarkers for AOM.”
• Spatial heterogeneity of macrofauna at northern California methane seeps: influence of sulfide concentration and fluid flow (2003, background): “Most research on the fauna of seeps has focused on the large megafauna (clams, tube worms, and mussels) (Sibuet & Olu 1998, Van Dover et al. 2003), or on the microbiota (Buck & Barry 1998, Hinrichs et al. 2000, Orphan et al. 2000).”
• Comparative Analysis of Methane-Oxidizing Archaea and Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Anoxic Marine Sediments (2001, background): “Similar (13)C-depleted diphytanylglycerolethers (archaeol and sn-2-hydroxyarchaeol) have been previously detected in other methane-laden sedimentary environments, including seep sediments in the Mediterranean and at the Cascadia Margin, suggesting that Methanosarcinales relatives and, more specifica”
• ECOLOGY OF COLD SEEP SEDIMENTS: INTERACTIONS OF FAUNA WITH FLOW, CHEMISTRY AND MICROBES (2005, background): “Isotopic signatures much lighter than that of methane are usually associated with lipids derived from anaerobic methane oxidation (Hinrichs et al. 2000).”
• Microbial ecology of the stratified water column of the Black Sea as revealed by a comprehensive biomarker study (2007, background): “Anaerobic methane oxidizers have also been inferred as a PMI source (along with crocetane – 2,6,11,15-tetramethylhexadecane) from extremely C depleted PMI ( 100& to 50&) in methane rich sediments in which AOM occurs (Elvert et al., 1999; Thiel et al., 1999; Hinrichs et al., 2000; Bian et al., 2001),”
• Characterization of Specific Membrane Fatty Acids as Chemotaxonomic Markers for Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Involved in Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane (2003, background): “…in AOM suggest that SRB biomarkers are highly diverse and include straight chain and methyl-branched fatty acids and alcohols (Thiel et al. 1999; Hinrichs et al. 2000; Pancost et al. 2000; Elvert et al. 2001; Zhang et al. 2002) as well as mono- and dialkyglycerolethers (Hinrichs et al. 2000;…”
