Phytanyl groups are frequently found in archaeal membrane lipids of methanogenic and halophilic archaea (e.g., in archaeol). Phytene is the singly unsaturated version of phytane. Phytene is also found as the functional group phytyl in many organic molecules of biological importance such as chlorophyll , … Visa mer Phytane is the isoprenoid alkane formed when phytol, a constituent of chlorophyll, loses its hydroxyl group. When phytol loses one carbon atom, it yields pristane. Other sources of phytane and pristane have also been proposed than … Visa mer In suitable environments, biomolecules like chlorophyll can be transformed and preserved in recognizable forms as biomarkers.
