They occur in a variety of structures from simple hopanoids to elongated compounds with polyfunctional side chains such as bacteriohopanepolyols (BH-polyols). This review summarizes current knowledge of the occurrence of these compounds in different bacterial types, genera and species, their biosynthesis and functions in cellular membranes and in important biochemical and physiological processes, and surveys advances and trends in the field of hopanoid analysis, especially as concerns LC-MS with soft ionization techniques such as APCI and/or ESI Workplace Institute of Microbiology Contact Eliška Spurná, eliska.spurna@biomed.cas.cz, Tel.: 241 062 231 Year of Publishing 2011
