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:

Biological Functions of ilvC in Branched-Chain Fatty Acid Synthesis and Diffusible Signal Factor Family Production in Xanthomonas campestris.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that BCFAs do not have major functions in acclimatizing Xcc cells to low temperatures and reduced the ability to produce DSF-family signals, especially branched-chain DSF -family signals.

Methylmercury bioaccumulation in invertebrates of boreal streams in Norway: effects of aqueous methylmercury and diet retention.
TL;DR: Dietary uptake of bacteria could be an important pathway for MeHg-transfer at the bottom of food chains in humic streams because of its importance for bioaccumulation in biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of free hydroxylated and methyl-branched fatty acids on the organization of lipid membranes.
TL;DR: The DSC thermograms revealed that the main gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition of the DMPC bilayers which results in a disordering effect of the lipid hydrocarbon chains was affected in different ways depending on the nature of the incorporated fatty acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Defects of Caenorhabditis elegans Lacking Branched-chain α-Ketoacid Dehydrogenase Are Mainly Caused by Monomethyl Branched-Chain Fatty Acid Deficiency
TL;DR: It is concluded that mmBCFA deficiency is largely responsible for the developmental defects in the worm and conceivably might also be a critical contributor to the pathology of human MSUD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity among bacteria isolated from the deep subsurface
TL;DR: The diversity indices based on these different methods of characterization were very high suggesting this subsurface habitat harbors a highly diverse microbial community.

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.
