Archaea play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are considered ancestral to eukaryotes. The unique lipid composition of archaea, characterized by isoprenoid alkyl chains and ether linkage to glycerol-1-phosphate, offers valuable insights into archaeal phylogeny and evolution. However, comprehensive studies focusing on archaeal lipidomes, especially at the intact polar lipid level, are currently limited.

Cold seeps on the continental margins are characterized by intense microbial activities that consume a large portion of methane by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) through anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). Although ANMEs are known to contain unique ether lipids that may have an important function in marine carbon cycling, their full lipidomic profiles and functional distribution in particular cold-seep settings are still poorly characterized. Here, we combined the 16S rRNA gene sequencing and lipidomic approaches to analyze archaeal communities and their lipids in cold seep sediments with distinct methane supplies from the South China Sea.

Cellular membranes are essential for compartmentalization, maintenance of permeability, and fluidity in all three domains of life. Archaea belong to the third domain of life and have a distinct phospholipid composition. Membrane lipids of archaea are ether-linked molecules, specifically bilayer-forming dialkyl glycerol diethers (DGDs) and monolayer-forming glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs).

One of the deepest branches in the tree of life separates the Archaea from the Bacteria. These prokaryotic groups have distinct cellular systems including fundamentally different phospholipid membrane bilayers. This dichotomy has been termed the lipid divide and possibly bestows different biophysical and biochemical characteristics on each cell type.

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids that are frequently employed as paleoenvironmental proxies because of the strong empirical correlations between their relative abundances and environmental temperature and pH. Despite the ubiquity of brGDGTs in modern and paleoenvironments, the source organisms of these enigmatic compounds have remained elusive, requiring paleoenvironmental applications to rely solely on observed environmental correlations. Previous laboratory and environmental studies have suggested that the globally abundant bacterial phylum of the Acidobacteria may be an important brGDGT producer in nature.
