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:

The Development of Aromas in Ruminant Meat
TL;DR: This review provides an update on the understanding of the chemical reactions (lipid oxidation, Strecker and Maillard reactions, thiamine degradation) and a discussion of the principal aroma compounds derived from those reaction or other sources in cooked meat, mainly focused on ruminant species.

TL;DR: A total of twenty aerobic endospore-forming bacilli, isolated from marine invertebrates and sea water of different areas of the Pacific Ocean, were taxonomically characterized, according to their phenotypic characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and fatty acids patterns.

Lipid biomarkers for heterotrophic alteration of suspended particulate organic matter in oxygenated and anoxic water columns of the ocean
TL;DR: A comparison of the two sites and their lipid distributions indicates that it may be difficult to use lipid biomarkers to assess the importance of bacterial decomposition of organic matter in the open ocean, as lipids from these bacteria are not readily distinguished from the more abundant planktonic lipids.

Bulk Organic Matter and Lipid Biomarker Composition of Chesapeake Bay Surficial Sediments as Indicators of Environmental Processes
TL;DR: In this article, seasonal measurements of lipid biomarker (fatty acid and sterol) composition along with organic carbon and nitrogen elemental and stable isotopic signatures were made in surficial sediments collected along the salinity gradient of the Chesapeake Bay mainstem.

Sediment Microbial Community Structure and Mercury Methylation in Mercury-Polluted Clear Lake, California
TL;DR: Spatial and temporal variations in sediment microbial community structure in a eutrophic lake polluted with inorganic mercury were identified using polar lipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, and analysis of biomarker PLFAs suggests that Desulfobacter-like organisms are important mercury methylators in the sediments, especially in the Lower Arm of Clear Lake.

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.
