C15, C20, and C25 isoprenoid homologues in glycerol diether phospholipids of methanogenic archaebacteria.

The glycerol diether phospholipids of 25 monocultures of methanogenic bacteria were isolated and degraded with hydriodic acid. The resulting alkyl iodides were converted to acetate esters and alcohols which were examined using capillary gas-liquid chromatography. The presence of C20 phytanol was obs...
