From cells of the hyperthermophilic Methanopyrus kandleri, a novel unsaturated core ether lipid was isolated. By UV-, IR-, Mass- and C-13 NMR-spectroscopy it was identified as 2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol. In addition, the cells contain geranylgeraniol. Under the view of evolution, the presence of a terpenoid lipid is a rather primitive feature. This is in line with the deep short lineage of Methanopyrus within the 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic tree.
