Iso- and anteiso-fatty acids in bacteria: biosynthesis, function, and taxonomic significance.
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:

Simulating Mars Drilling Mission for Searching for Life: Ground-Truthing Lipids and Other Complex Microbial Biomarkers in the Iron-Sulfur Rich Río Tinto Analog.
Laura Sánchez-García,Miguel Ángel Fernández-Martínez,Mercedes Moreno-Paz,Daniel Carrizo,Miriam García-Villadangos,Juan M. Manchado,Carol R. Stoker,Brian Glass,Victor Parro +8 more
TL;DR: The multi-analytical approach provided proof of concept that molecular biomarkers varying in compositional nature, preservation potential, and taxonomic specificity can be recovered from shallow drilling on iron-rich Mars analogues by using an automated life-detection lander prototype, such as the one proposed for NASA's IceBreaker mission proposal.

Symbiotic bacteria in the nudibranch mollusk Dendrodoris nigra: fatty acid composition and ultrastructure analysis
TL;DR: The presence of dividing bacteria suggests that the epithelium includes a renewable, dividing population of symbiotic bacteria, as well as their nutritional role in the nudibranch.

Effect of Triclosan and Chloroxylenol on Bacterial Membranes.
David Poger,Alan E. Mark +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that triclosan and chloroxylenol decrease the degree of fluidity of membranes and that this effect is more pronounced in bacterial membranes, which could be associated with a change in the function of membrane proteins.

Terrigenous nutrient and organic matter in a subtropical river estuary, Okinawa, Japan: origin, distribution and pattern across the estuarine salinity gradient
TL;DR: In this article, the downstream pattern and distribution of nutrients (NO, NO, NH and PO ) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (PN) in the surface waters of the Manko estuary, a subtropical estuary in Okinawa, Japan.

Lipid remodelling in the reef-building honeycomb worm, Sabellaria alveolata, reflects acclimation and local adaptation to temperature
Anna P. Muir,Anna P. Muir,Flavia L. D. Nunes,Flavia L. D. Nunes,Stanislas F. Dubois,Fabrice Pernet +5 more
TL;DR: Lipid remodelling appears limited at the highest temperatures in S. alveolata, suggesting that individuals inhabiting warm environments may be close to their upper thermal tolerance limits and at risk in a changing climate.

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.
