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:

Tracing Viable Bacteria in Wadden Sea Sediments Using Phospholipid Analysis
TL;DR: This thesis describes a protocol that was developed to analyse different types of lipids from bacteria and sediments, with special emphasis on the analysis of intact phospholipids by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, because phospholIPids appear to be suitable biomarkers to trace viable bacteria.

Biogeochemical significance of fatty acid distribution in the coastal upwelling ecosystem off Concepción (36°S), Chile
TL;DR: The distribution of fatty acids in the water column and surface sediment of the coastal upwelling ecosystem off Concepcion (central Chile; almost monthly from February 2007 to November 2008) was analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The present study illustrates the diversity in the stereochemistry of anteiso branching in bacterial metabolites by identifying two new alkanoylimidazoles and three known congeners from a marine-derived actinomycete strain of the genus Kocuria.

Hurricanes Enhance Labile Carbon Export to the Deep Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that hurricanes also impact the ocean's biological pump by enhancing export of labile organic material to the deep ocean, which is important as this flux supports deep ocean ecosystems and regulates deep ocean oxygen consumption.

The Fatty Acid Composition of Tropical Marine Algae of the Genus Halimeda (Chlorophyta)
TL;DR: The fatty acid composition of the tropical genus Halimeda, represented by the six Caribbean species, is reported for the first time, and the very long-chain fatty acids tetracosanoic acid (24:0), pentacosanoIC acid (25:0%), and hexacosanosanoic Acid (26:0) were identified in H. copiosa, H. monile, and H. incrassata.

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.
