Abstract excerpt

Bacterial hopanoids are ubiquitous in Earth surface environments. They hold promise as environmental and ecological biomarkers, if the phylogeny and physiological drivers of hopanoid biosynthesis can be linked with the distribution of hopanoids observed across a breadth of samples. Here we survey the diversity of hopanoid cyclases from a land-sea gradient across the island of San Salvador, in the easternmost part...
