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:

Membrane fatty acid analysis of Antarctic bacteria
TL;DR: Randomly selected strains of a bacterial collection of marine sea-ice bacteria from Antarctica were analyzed to obtain a profile of the membrane fatty acids and showed that short chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were more common in the psychrotrophs when compared to psychrophiles.

TL;DR: It might be valuable to extend the host range of arctic rhizobia to agronomically important legumes, in order to improve nitrogen fixation by these plants at low temperatures, and to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling the nodulation specificity ofArctic rhZobia.

TL;DR: Results indicate that community FAME profiles could be used as a diagnostic tool for obtaining preliminary evidence that management practices are altering the system's microbial community to one that favors less air pollution potential.

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.
