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:

Seasonal variation of fatty acids from drip water in Heshang Cave, central China
TL;DR: In order to investigate how lipids in cave water respond to seasonal climate change, drip water samples were collected from 2006 to 2008 in Heshang Cave, central China for fatty acid analysis.

Intestinal Microflora, Short Chain and Cellular Fatty Acids, Influence of a Probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii
Fernand Girard-Pipau,A. Pompei,Stéphane M. Schneider,Jean-Louis Nano,Xavier Hébuterne,P. Boquet,Patrick Rampal +6 more
TL;DR: This role of S. boulardii had not been described before, possibly because the dosage used in this study is higher than in the preceding studies and is possibly responsible for beneficial effects of this probiotic in prevention of diarrhoeal diseases induced by enteral nutrition.

Biogeochemistry of near-bottom suspended particulate matter of the Beaufort Sea shelf (Arctic Ocean): C, N, P, δ 13C and fatty acids
TL;DR: The influence of the Mackenzie River on the source, composition, and distribution of dissolved nutrients and suspended particulate matter (SPM) in near-bottom waters on the Beaufort Sea shelf was determined by measuring particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate nitrogen (PN), and particulate phosphorus (PP), elemental ratios (C:N, C:P, N:P), chlorophyll a, bulk δ-13C, and fatty acids as discussed by the authors.

Insoluble prokaryotic membrane lipids in a Sphagnum peat: Implications for organic matter preservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined some of the processes that lead to the preservation of organic matter (OM) by characterising insoluble OM in a Sphagnum peat bog, focusing on the partitioning of prokaryotic biomarkers between solvent-extractable and insoluble organic matter fractions and how that partitioning changed with depth.

The molecular species of phospholipids of the cold-water soft coral Gersemia rubiformis (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Alcyonacea, Nephtheidae)
Andrey B. Imbs,L. T. P. Dang +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that the 24:5n-6 and 24:6n-3 acids (chemotaxonomic markers of soft corals) concentrate in the acyl groups of the molecular species of PS and PI, which can be used as molecular lipid markers in the study of the symbiotic and trophic relationships ofsoft corals.

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.
