Planktonic Archaeal Ether Lipid Origins in Surface Waters of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Thaumarchaeota and Thermoplasmatota are the most abundant planktonic archaea in the sea. Thaumarchaeota contain tetraether lipids as their major membrane lipids, but the lipid composition of uncultured planktonic Thermoplasmatota representatives remains unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we qua...
