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:

TL;DR: The first chemotaxonomic characterization, based on the fatty acid (FA) profile, of these two charismatic oceanic species that thrive in the interface layer between air and the water column in adult stages is presented.

Role of wax ester synthase/acyl coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase in oleaginous Streptomyces sp. strain G25.

TL;DR: Findings clearly indicate that AtfG25 has an important, but not exclusive, role in TAG biosynthesis in the novel Streptomyces isolate and suggest the presence of alternative metabolic pathways for lipid accumulation which are discussed in the present study.

Volatile methyl esters of medium chain length from the bacterium Chitinophaga Fx7914.
TL;DR: The analysis of the volatiles released by the novel bacterial isolate Chitinophaga Fx7914 revealed the presence of ca.

The Polyextremophilic Bacterium Clostridium paradoxum Attains Piezophilic Traits by Modulating Its Energy Metabolism and Cell Membrane Composition.
TL;DR: Under polyextreme conditions of high pH and temperature, Clostridium paradoxum demonstrates a moderately piezophilic nature as cultures grow to highest cell densities and most efficiently at a specific combination of temperature and HP, highlighting the importance of considering HP when exploring microbial physiology under extreme conditions.

TL;DR: A comparison of the REE patterns in the present experimental and field measurements demonstrated that, in riparian wetlands, reducing conditions are insufficient to allow for the dissolution of the entire Fe nano-oxide pool formed during the oxidative period, therefore, Fe(III) seems to remain a potential scavenger of REEs.

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.
