Abstract：Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle and environmental pollution control. AnAOB contain unique ladderane lipids, whose key structure is three or five linearly concatenated cyclobutane moieties. Ladderane lipids have not been found in other bacteria so far, and their biosynthetic pathway and physiological function remain unknown. In this work, the advances in the discovery, structure, properties, types, applications, and synthesis of AnAOB ladderane lipids were comprehensively reviewed, and the current issues and prospected future research directions were discussed.
