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:

Fatty acid composition as an indicator of the trophic position of abyssal megabenthic deposit feeders in the Kuril Basin of the Sea of Okhotsk
Vladimir I. Kharlamenko,Anastassya S. Maiorova,Anastassya S. Maiorova,Ekaterina V. Ermolenko +3 more
TL;DR: This paper examined the fatty acid composition in eight species of deposit feeders, including holothurians, echiurans, sipunculan, polychaete and bivalve mollusc from the Kuril Basin of the Sea of Okhotsk.

Effect of soil horizon stratigraphy on the microbial ecology of alpine paleosols.
Jonathan M. Young,Timofey Skvortsov,Brian P. Kelleher,William C. Mahaney,Peeter Somelar,Christopher C. R. Allen +5 more
TL;DR: This study evaluates the differences in microbial community taxonomy and biogeochemical functional potential between stratified soil horizons in an alpine paleosol environment using next-generation sequencing (NGS) shotgun sequencing and test the hypothesis that variation in soil community composition is linked to variation in the physical and chemical parameters that define stratigraphy.

Checkerboard testing method indicates synergic effect of pelgipeptins against multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
Rosiane Andrade da Costa,Daniel Barros Ortega,Débora Luíza Albano Fulgêncio,Flávio Silva Costa,Thiago Fellipe de Araujo,Cristine Chaves Barreto +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the association of Pelgipeptin B and C or chloramphenicol has a synergic effect against a multidrug resistant bacteria strain; which may be may be due to the variations on hydrophobicity and mechanisms of action of the molecules tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective stabilization of soil fatty acids related to their carbon chain length and presence of double bonds in the Peruvian Andes
TL;DR: In this article, the inherent molecular properties of FAs control their stability in soils and their interactions with the soil matrix, and the results showed that the TMAH-pyrolysis-GC/MS yielded a large proportion of free FAs with a major contribution of free FA stability.

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.
