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:

Insights into the Mechanism of Homeoviscous Adaptation to Low Temperature in Branched-Chain Fatty Acid-Containing Bacteria through Modeling FabH Kinetics from the Foodborne Pathogen Listeria monocytogenes
TL;DR: The psychrotolerant foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes withstands the stress of low temperatures and can proliferate in refrigerated food, and the potential for control of low temperature growth by feeding compounds that result in the production of butyryl-CoA, the precursor of SCFAs that rigidify the membrane and are incompatible with growth at low temperatures is recognized.

Fatty acid and hydroxy acid adaptation in three gram-negative hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in relation to carbon source
TL;DR: Surprisingly, both aerobic and anaerobic pathways are operating in the studied strain of P. oleovorans, a nonclassic route in gram-negative bacteria.

Concentrations of medium-chain 2- and 3-hydroxy fatty acids in foodstuffs
Ramona Jenske,Walter Vetter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations and composition of 2- and 3-OH-FAs in several foodstuffs (milk and dairy products, animal brains, suet, vegetable oils) and two non-food samples (wool wax and vernix caseosa ) were determined by gas chromatography with electron-capture negative ion mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring mode.

Opening up a window into ecosystems with Ediacara-type organisms: preservation of molecular fossils in the Khatyspyt Lagerstätte (Arctic Siberia)
Jan-Peter Duda,Jan-Peter Duda,Volker Thiel,Joachim Reitner,Joachim Reitner,Dmitriy V. Grazhdankin,Dmitriy V. Grazhdankin +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the preservation of molecular fossils in a sample from the Khatyspyt Formation and elucidate their paleobiological meaning was evaluated and the results reveal that the organic matter is remarkably immature (oil window maturity) and shows little effect of biodegradation.

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.
