Significance and taxonomic value of iso and anteiso monoenoic fatty acids and branded beta-hydroxy acids in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.
TL;DR: The fatty acids obtained from extractable lipids of the anaerobic sulfate bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans were identified and the occurrence of these monoenoic fatty acids in this bacterium is of taxonomical importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical pyrolysis of carbohydrates: I. Chemical interpretation of matrix influences on pyrolysis-mass spectra of amylose using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) was used to determine the ratios of amylose compounds, acids, furans, pyranones anhydrosugars and aromatic substances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the minimum number of components necessary to link a chlorophyll, such as chlorophylla a, to the major alkyl porphyrin in sedimentary organic matter.
Biogeochemistry of Gavish Sabkha Sediments. I. Studies on neutral reducing sugars and lipid moieties by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
TL;DR: A large number of lipids with peculiar structures have been encountered for the first time in Sabkha sediment and it is likely that several of these molecules are useful markers for specific microbial communities as mentioned in this paper.
