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:

Branched chain fatty acids for prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal disorders
J.T. Brenna,Rinat R. Ran-Ressler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method of preventing or treating a gastrointestinal condition in a subject, that includes administering one or more branched chain fatty acid to the subject under conditions effective to prevent or treat the gastrointestinal condition, is presented.

TL;DR: It was concluded that high proportions of red clover and other dicotyledons in the silages affected ruminal biohydrogenation and increased milk fat proportions of beneficial FA.

Growth-Environment Dependent Modulation of Staphylococcus aureus Branched-Chain to Straight-Chain Fatty Acid Ratio and Incorporation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Suranjana Sen,Seth R. Johnson,Yang Song,Sirisha Sirobhushanam,Ryan Tefft,Craig Gatto,Brian J. Wilkinson +6 more
TL;DR: The fatty acid composition of in vitro grown S. aureus is likely to be a poor reflection of the fatty acids composition and biophysical properties of the membrane when the organism is growing in an infection in view of the role of SCUFAs in staphylococcal membrane composition and virulence.

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.
