Differential degradation of intact polar and core glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids upon post-depositional oxidation
Archaeal and bacterial glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids (GDGTs) are used in various proxies, such as TEX86 and the BIT index. In living organism, they contain polar head groups (intact polar lipids – IPLs). IPL GDGTs have also been detected in ancient marine sediments and it is unclear wh...
