Application of Archaea Membrane Lipids in Biological Geology
古菌细胞膜脂在生物地质学中的应用

Archaea, as the third life form distinguished from eukaryotes and prokaryotes, plays an important role in indicating geological environment and revealing the global elements cycle. It has become one of the most important topics in the field of biogeochemical presently. The paper reviewed the application of the archaea membrane in geological research, including the deficiency and prospect of the so far studies in the area.
