Diplopterol
Chemical compound
Diplopterol is a triterpenoid molecule commonly produced by bacteria, ferns, and a few protozoans. This compound, classified as a member of the hopanoid family, is synthesized from triterpenoid precursor squalene. It is generally believed that hopanoids serve a similar function in bacteria as that of sterols in eukaryotes, which involves modulating membrane fluidity. Diplopterol serves as a useful biomarker for prokaryotic life, along with oxygen content at the time of sediment deposition.
