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.

Very-long-chain iso and anteiso branched fatty acids in N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines from a natural cyanobacterial mat of Calothrix sp.

TL;DR: A combination of TLC, ESI-MS/MS and GC-MS was used to identify unusual molecular species of N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines containing very-long-chain anteiso branched fatty acids from Calothrix sp.

Characteristics of organic matter in lagoonal sediments from the Great Barrier Reef.

TL;DR: This article applied organic carbon and total nitrogen analyses, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric lipid analysis with in situ methylation with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH-pyrolyization-GC/MS) to characterize the organic matter in recent lagoonal sediments from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).

Enhancement of biogas production from cattle manure using glycerine phase as a co-substrate in anaerobic digestion

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of glycerine phase on the anaerobic digestion of cattle manure under mesophilic conditions was investigated, and it was found that the addition of 10% (as volatile solids) GSP to cattle manure produced 3.1-times more biogas than cattle manure alone (237.5 L vs. 76.4 L).

Remarkable genetic diversity detected at river buffalo prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and association studies with milk fatty acid composition

TL;DR: The results suggest that the PRLR gene is a good candidate for gene association studies with qualitative traits related to buffalo milk production, and remarkable genetic diversity is found.

Milk Odd and Branched Chain Fatty Acids in Dairy Cows: A Review on Dietary Factors and Its Consequences on Human Health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of odd and branched chain fatty acids (OBCFAs) and dietary factors that may affect the content of milk OBCFs in dairy cows.

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

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.
