ETHER NOT GLYCEROL MEMBRANES. “The membrane structure unique to Archaea plays a significant role in their survival as a barrier between the cytoplasm and the hostile environments. Archaeal membranes are composed of isoprenoid alcohols ether-linked to glycerol, instead of the usual Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic fatty acids which are ester-linked to glycerol.”
