Abstract excerpt

Bacteriohopanepolyol derivatives (BHPDs) and dia- and catagenetic products formed from these bacterial membrane modifiers are extensively used as biomarkers in molecular ecological and geoscience studies. Some BHPDs can be assigned to specific phylogenetic bacterial groups. With the vastly increasing availability of complete bacterial genomes, hopanoid production can be readily predicted by the presence of...
