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:

Alterations in Membrane Phospholipid Fatty Acids of Gram‐Positive Piezotolerant Bacterium Sporosarcina sp. DSK25 in Response to Growth Pressure
Jiani Wang,Jiangtao Li,Shamik Dasgupta,Li Zhang,Mikhail Y. Golovko,Svetlana A. Golovko,Jiasong Fang,Jiasong Fang +7 more
TL;DR: DSK25 appears to utilize two regulatory mechanisms for adaptation to high pressure, a rapid-responding mechanism on transient scale, expressed as increased biosynthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids, and a long-term adaptation mechanism in increased synthesis of anteiso-branched and polyuns saturated fatty acids.

Dispersal and assimilation of an aquaculture waste subsidy in a low productivity coastal environment.
TL;DR: To understand dispersal and assimilation of aquaculture waste subsidies in a naturally low-productivity environment, a novel, rapid transmethylation technique was applied to analyse sediment and biota fatty acid composition to characterize the benthic footprint of Aquaculture influence.

Biosynthesis, regulation, and engineering of microbially produced branched biofuels.
TL;DR: This review focuses on several types of branched-chain biofuels and their immediate precursors, includingbranched short-chain (C4–C8) and long-chain(C15–C19)-alcohols, alkanes, and esters, and discusses their biosynthesis, regulation, and recent efforts in their overproduction by engineered microbes.

Contribution of allochthonous organic carbon across the Serrano River Basin and the adjacent fjord system in Southern Chilean Patagonia: Insights from the combined use of stable isotope and fatty acid biomarkers
TL;DR: In this article, the potential sources and composition of organic matter along the Serrano River basin and the adjacent channels and fjords in Southern Chilean Patagonia (51-52°S), as well as their importance for marine planktonic organisms were evaluated.

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.
