Enhanced production of highly methylated brGDGTs linked to anaerobic bacteria from sediments of the Mariana Trench

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that are widely used in terrestrial paleoclimatic reconstructions. Recent studies have reported that brGDGTs can also be produced by marine bacteria. However, the environmental factors influencing marine-derived b...
