Furthermore, they are the precursors of several derived compounds (homohopanoids) in sediments and oils (Ourisson G et al., Pure Appl Chem 1979, 51, 709) and thus could be considered as the most abundant natural products on earth (Ourisson G et al., Accounts Chem Res 1992, 25, 398).

The article already mentions this, which is nice; but the structure is not quite similar, e. g. hopanoids have |

an additional ring. Perhaps even more differences. Would it be possible to expand the article a little bit in |

order to accentuate these differences more, in the wiki-article as-is? I unfortunately do not have sufficient |

knowledge to reshape that article in a meaningful manner. (I only just today read that hopanoids are similar |

to cholesterol, for instance.) [[Special:Contributions/2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0|2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0]] ([[User talk:2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0|talk]]) 14:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC) |

the most abundant compounds on earth
I have read that hopanoids are among the compounds most resistant to degradation thus are superabundant that is theres more hopanoids out there than wood or starch polymers
that might go with the article
Furthermore, they are the precursors of several derived compounds (homohopanoids) in sediments and oils (Ourisson G et al., Pure Appl Chem 1979, 51, 709) and thus could be considered as the most abundant natural products on earth (Ourisson G et al., Accounts Chem Res 1992, 25, 398). Hopanoids occur predominantly in aerobic bacteria (methanotrophs, heterotrophs and cyanobacteria) but have also been found in some anaerobic bacteria (Sinninghe Damsté JS et al., Org Chem 2004, 35, 561).
Clean up
some broken grammar here... dunno what to do about it, dunno how to flag it ill fix it later if nobody else has 24.108.206.194 04:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Structural similarity to cholesterol
The article already mentions this, which is nice; but the structure is not quite similar, e. g. hopanoids have an additional ring. Perhaps even more differences. Would it be possible to expand the article a little bit in order to accentuate these differences more, in the wiki-article as-is? I unfortunately do not have sufficient knowledge to reshape that article in a meaningful manner. (I only just today read that hopanoids are similar to cholesterol, for instance.) 2A02:8388:1604:CA80:F462:6A60:DEA:83A0 (talk) 14:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
