the final committed step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids and is catalyzed by digeranylgeranylglycerophospholipid reductase (DGGGPL reductase). The putative DGGGPL reductase gene (Ta0516m) of Thermoplasma acidophilum was cloned and expressed. The purified recombinant enzyme appeared to catalyze the formation of 2,3-di-O-phytanylglyceryl phosphate from 2,3-di-O-geranylgeranylglyceryl
