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:

Cheese Consumption and Risk of All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies.
TL;DR: It is suggested that long-term cheese consumption was not associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and there was no dose-response relationship between cheese consumption and risk ofAll- Cause mortality.

Characterisation of two self-sufficient CYP102 family monooxygenases from Ktedonobacter racemifer DSM44963 which have new fatty acid alcohol product profiles.
TL;DR: It is shown that this bacterium from the Chloroflexi phylum contains genes which encode new proteins with novel activity, Krac0936 and Krac9955, which are self-sufficient P450 monooxygenases.

Preservation of microbial lipids in geothermal sinters.
TL;DR: Investigation of lipid preservation in active and inactive geothermal silica sinters from Champagne Pool, Waiotapu, New Zealand reveals a wide range of bacterial biomarkers, including free and bound fatty acids, 1,2-di-O-alkylglycerols (diethers), and various hopanoids, and indicates that incorporated lipids can be well preserved.

Exploring the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 and functional characterization of novel acyl-lipid desaturases.
TL;DR: In this article, two open reading frames (ORFs) encoding a putative Δ5 desaturase and a fatty acid acyl-lipid desaturases were identified in the B. cereus ATCC 14579 genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing estuarine plume discharge into the coastal ocean using fatty acid biomarkers and pigment analysis.
TL;DR: This study shows that fatty acid markers can reveal the biogeochemical interactions between estuaries and the coastal ocean and highlights how man-made changes have the potential to influence coastal ecological change.

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.
