Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipid fatty acid profiling of microbial communities a review of interpretations and recent applications
TL;DR: It is evident that interpretations of PLFA results do not always correlate between different investigations, but the approach remains one with great potential for improving the understanding of the relationship between microbial populations and the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) to characterize microbial communities in aquifers
TL;DR: A review of lipid-based biochemical techniques for characterizing microbial communities in aquifers and other deep subsurface habitats can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the potential of using these techniques in the optimization of bioremediation of groundwater pollutants.
Journal Article
Role of membrane lipid fatty acids in cold adaptation.
TL;DR: This review on cold adaptation highlights the various strategies by which bacteria modulate the fluidity of the membrane and the process by which it senses and transduces the low temperature signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositions and transport of lipid biomarkers through the water column and surficial sediments of the equatorial Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic investigation of fluxes and compositions of lipids through the water column and into sediments was conducted along the U.S. JGOFS EgPac transect from l2°N to l5°S at 140°W.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon isotopic compositions of prokaryotic lipids as tracers of carbon cycling in diverse settings
TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of prokaryotic lipids commonly observed in sediments and the controls on their carbon isotopic compositions is presented, showing the potential utility of compound-specific carbon isotope analyses to deconvolute pathways of carbon flow in microbial communities.

Fatty acid and polar lipid composition in the classification of Cellulomonas, Oerskovia and related taxa
TL;DR: Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography showed that almost identical and very characteristic polar lipid patterns were given by all the organisms under study: the only major components were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosph atidylinositol and two phospho-glycolipids chromatographing similarly to, but distinguishable from, the mono- and diacyl phosphatidolinositols characteristic of Nocardia and other actinomycetes.
