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:

Journal ArticleDOI
A novel fatty acid, 12,17-dimethyloctadecanoic acid, from the extremophile Thermogemmatispora sp. (Strain T81).
TL;DR: Data suggest that Thermogemmatispora share an ability to synthesize the same fatty acid, which has not been previously detected or described in these organisms.

Characterization of an antibiotic produced by Bacillus subtilis JW-1 that suppresses Ralstonia solanacearum
Jae Won Kwon,Shin Duk Kim +1 more
TL;DR: Bacillus subtilis JW-1 was isolated from rhizosphere soil as a potential biocontrol agent of bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum and its structure was elucidated as a cyclic lipopeptide composed of a heptapeptide bonded to a lactone ring system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depth, soil type, water table, and site effects on microbial community composition in sediments of pesticide-contaminated aquifer
TL;DR: The slow pesticide dissipation seemed to occur in the main groundwater flow zone, resulting in nitrogen release simultaneously with organic matter elution from gardening and bank filtration, and microbial biomass, activity, and diversity were increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid transformation in zooplankton: from seston to benthos.
TL;DR: The periods of significant input of PUFAs to the sediment coincide with the period of highest transformation by the mesozooplankton, which in the present study was summer and autumn.
Book ChapterDOI
Remodeling of Membrane Phospholipids by Bacterial Desaturases
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent studies in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria that offer insights into the biochemical and genetic processes that are responsible for the biosynthesis of UFAs.

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.
