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:

Thomas P. Howard,Sabine Middelhaufe,Karen Moore,Christoph Edner,Dagmara M. Kolak,George N. Taylor,David A. Parker,David A. Parker,Rob Lee,Rob Lee,Nicholas Smirnoff,Stephen J. Aves,John Love +12 more
TL;DR: Production of petroleum-replica hydrocarbons in Escherichia coli is reported on to demonstrate the ability to design and implement artificial molecular pathways for the production of renewable, industrially relevant fuel molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and phospholipid Fatty Acid profiles of surface and subsurface bacteria in natural sediment microcosms.
TL;DR: Bacteria survived better in the paleosol than in the nonpaleosol and survived better under saturated conditions than under unsaturated conditions, and cell volumes of all strains decreased; however, sediment type and moisture did not influence rates of miniaturization.

Cold Shock Response of Bacillus subtilis: Isoleucine-Dependent Switch in the Fatty Acid Branching Pattern for Membrane Adaptation to Low Temperatures
TL;DR: The importance of isoleucine for B. subtilis to survive cold shock from 37 to 15 degrees C is reported on, with a cold-protective function for all intermediates of anteiso-branched fatty acid biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
How do bacteria sense and respond to low temperature
TL;DR: This review highlights the various strategies by which bacteria senses low temperature signal and as to how it responds to the change.

Physiology and genetics of Listeria monocytogenes survival and growth at cold temperatures.
Yvonne C. Chan,Martin Wiedmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, relevant knowledge on L. monocytogenes' ability to adapt to and multiply at low temperature will be summarized and discussed, including selected relevant findings on the physiology and genetics of cold adaptation in other Gram-positive bacteria.

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.
