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:

Effect of the growth medium on the cellular fatty acid composition of aeromonads: consequences for the chemotaxonomic differentiation of DNA hybridization groups in the genus Aeromonas
TL;DR: When a standardized FAME protocol needs to be designed for taxonomic purposes, a thorough evaluation of the influence of the growth medium on bacterial fatty acid composition is recommended.

Soil organic carbon content and mineralization controlled by the composition, origin and molecular diversity of organic matter: A study in tropical alpine grasslands
Songyu Yang,Songyu Yang,Boris Jansen,Samira Absalah,Karsten Kalbitz,Fresia O. Chunga Castro,Erik Cammeraat +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of a 76-day soil incubation experiment and pyrolysis-GC/MS assisted by thermochemolysis was applied to investigate SOM decomposition and stabilization at the molecular level.

A comparative study of fatty acid profile and formation of biofilm in Geobacillus gargensis exposed to variable abiotic stress.
TL;DR: This study was designed to examine the effect of abiotic pressure, including salinity, temperature, pH, and oxinic stress on the growth, development, and FA profile in thermophilic Geobacillus gargensis.

Hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial species growing on hexadecane: Implications for bioaugmentation in marine ecosystems
Edmo Montes Rodrigues,Dionéia Evangelista Cesar,Renatta Santos de Oliveira,Tatiane de Paula Siqueira,Marcos Rogério Tótola +4 more
TL;DR: Two hydrocarbonoclastic species - Rhodococcus rhodochrous TRN7 and Nocardia farcinica TRH1 cells - growing in mineral medium containing hexadecane are evaluated to evaluate cell distribution in a crude-oil contaminated marine water to show the potential of application of these two bacterial strains in bioaugmentation of hydrocarbon-contaminated marine ecosystems.

Characterizing lipid biomarkers in methanotrophic communities of gas hydrate-bearing sediments in the Sea of Okhotsk
TL;DR: In this article, specific lipid biomarkers of archaea and bacteria are associated with the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in a cold seep environment as well as the origin of sedimentary organic matter on the continental slope off NE Sakhalin in the Sea of Okhotsk.

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.
