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:

Branched chain amino acids alter fatty acid profile in colostrum of sows fed a high fat diet
TL;DR: It is indicated that BCAAs supplementation can enhance mammary fatty acid uptake and mammary fat synthesis and that supplemental B CAAs and fat in late gestation and lactation diets for sows can improve reproductive performance.

Carbon cycling in the Sargasso Sea water column: Insights from lipid biomarkers in suspended particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared lipid biomarker and bulk constituents (organic carbon and δ13C, nitrogen and carbonate) in particles collected at the Oceanic Flux Program site in the northern Sargasso Sea off Bermuda during three periods of contrasting oceanographic conditions: following the spring bloom (April 2015), during the low productivity period (November 2015), and two weeks after the passage of the Category 3 Hurricane Nicole (October 2016).

Diagenesis of Organic Matter at the Water-Sediment Interface
TL;DR: The water-sediment interface is an intense heterotrophic reactor through which organic matter must pass if it is to be preserved in sediments as mentioned in this paper, and the depth of this zone may range from millimetres to a metre or more, depending on the perspective of the biogeochemist and the processes involved.

Origin and transport of sedimentary organic matter in the Yalujiang Estuary, North China
TL;DR: In this paper, the biogeochemistry of organic matter (OM) in a macrotidal estuary, the Yalujiang River, was studied during two cruises: the flood season in August 1994 and the dry season in April 1996.

Use of lipid biomarker patterns as a proxy of environmental variability in the coastal sedimentary record from the Gulf of Cádiz (SW Spain)
TL;DR: In this article, the use of lipid biomarker patterns as proxies of environmental variability in coastal sedimentary record from the Gulf of Cadiz (SW Spain) is described as a proxy for environmental variability.

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.
