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:

Isolation and characterization of resin acid degrading bacteria found in effluent from a bleached kraft pulp mill
C. A. Morgan,R. C. Wyndham +1 more
TL;DR: Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences were used to amplify genomic DNA fragments from 10 isolates to determine genotypic relatedness, and results supported the phenotypic analysis for all isolates tested except A19-5 and A 19-6b.

Frutexites-like structures formed by iron oxidizing biofilms in the continental subsurface (Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Sweden)
TL;DR: The results indicate that the Frutexites-like biofilm was built up by a complex microbial community, and the functional role of each community member in the formation of the dendritic structures, as well as their potential relation to fossil FrutExites remains under investigation.

A laboratory study on biochemical degradation and microbial utilization of organic matter comprising a marine diatom, land grass, and salt marsh plant in estuarine ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the biochemical degradation of organic matter comprising marine diatom, land grass, and salt marsh plant in estuarine ecosystems in two laboratory microcosms consisting of estuarial sediments and coastal seawater was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Lipid Metabolism and Spiramycin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces ambofaciens Unstable Mutants
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of lipids in strain RP181110, the mutant strain NSA205, and a derivative, NSA228 (ADS205− Spi+), was performed.

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.
