Structure of archaeal lipids: diphytanylglyceryl phospholipids in Halobacterium and bis(diphytanylglyceryl) phospholipids in Sulfolobus, Thermoplasma, Methanogene. Both the diether phophatidylcholine (left hand) and the 72-membered macrocyclic tetraether di-phosphates (right hand) formed vesicles in water (Dannenmuller et al. 2000; Eguchi et al. 2000)
