摘要：

The present article reviews studies of the structure and functional roles of the cardiolipin analogues of extremely halophilic prokaryotes belonging to the Archaea domain. Analogies and differences between the archaeal bisphosphatidylglycerol and the mitochondrial cardiolipin are presented. Furthermore the structure of archaeal glycophospholipid dimers is illustrated together with the available information on their function. The studies on the function of cardiolipin analogues in archaebacteria point out the tight interaction established by these phospholipids with membrane proteins and their role as bioactive lipids in the adaptation of microorganisms to osmotic stress.
