Fig. 1: Tes (Maeo_0574 or MA_1486) is sufficient for GDGT synthesis.

From: Identification of a protein responsible for the synthesis of archaeal membrane-spanning GDGT lipids

Fig. 1

LC-MS extracted ion chromatograms of acid hydrolyzed lipid extracts of M. maripaludis wild type (WT) with empty plasmid pMEV4 or ma_1114 heterologous expression showing only production of archaeol, and M. maripaludis WT with maeo_0574 or ma_1486 heterologous expression producing GDGT. Mass spectra are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
