TLDR
Branched-chain fatty acids of the iso and anteiso series occur in many bacteria as the major acyl constituents of membrane lipids and are an important criterion used to aid identification and classification of bacteria.About:

Effect of different wetness conditions on Sphagnum lipid composition in the Erxianyan peatland, central China
TL;DR: The occurrence of a high abundance of 7-methylheptadecane in submerged S. palustre is an indication of cyanobacteria in the living peat moss, and the relatively 13C-depleted carbon isotope values of the n-C23 alkane could result from the influence of symbiotic methanotrophs on the carbon available for assimilation by S. Palustre.

Stable carbon isotope biogeochemistry of a shallow sand aquifer contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this paper, the ground water chemistry and stable C isotope composition of ground-water DIC were measured in a sand aquifer contaminated with JP-4 fuel hydrocarbons and the results showed that ground water in the upgradient zone was characterized by DIC content of 14-20 mg C/L and δ 13 C DIC values of −11.3
Journal ArticleDOI
The pH-unrelated influence of salt, temperature and manganese on aroma formation by Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus carnosus in a fermented meat model system
TL;DR: Most of the variation in volatile profiles caused by manganese, temperature and salt was in fact directly or indirectly caused by changes in lactic acid bacterial activity and pH.

Differential mosquito attraction to humans is associated with skin-derived carboxylic acid levels
Maria Elena De Obaldia,Takeshi Morita,Laura C. Dedmon,Daniel J Boehmler,Caroline S. Jiang,Emely V. Zeledon,Justin R. Cross,Leslie B. Vosshall +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that highly attractive people produce significantly more carboxylic acids in their skin emanations, and that such compounds contribute to differential mosquito attraction to human skin odour.

Non-rigid cryptic sponges in oyster patch reefs (Lower Kimmeridgian, Langenberg/Oker, Germany)
TL;DR: Biomarker analyses revealed, that the patch reef microbialites contain terminally branched fatty acids (iso-andanteiso-pentadecanoic acid) in significant concentrations, which are most likely of a bacterial source.

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.

Lipids in the Classification and Identification of Coryneform Bacteria Containing Peptidoglycans Based on 2, 4-diaminobutyric Acid
M. D. Collins,Dorothy Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study indicate that lipid markers may be of considerable value in the classification and identification of 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid-containing phytopathogenic and saprophytic coryneform bacteria.
