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:

Characterization of a mutation in the acetolactate synthase of Bacillus subtilis that causes a cold‐sensitive phenotype
TL;DR: The Bacillus subtilis laboratory strain JH642 shows a cold-sensitive phenotype after a temperature shift from 37 to 15 degrees C in comparison to wild type strain MR168, and a mutation in the acetolactate synthase complex IlvBH was found to be partially responsible for this growth defect after cold shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase is required for development of Myxococcus xanthus.
TL;DR: A sequence analysis of the site of insertion of the transposon showed that the insertion lies within the 3' end of a 1,572-bp open reading frame (ORF) designated the M. xanthus pccB ORF, which rescued the dcm-1 mutant fruiting body and spore development.

Antimicrobial Biomasses from Lactic Acid Fermentation of Black Soldier Fly Prepupae and Related By-Products.
Jasmine Hadj Saadoun,Anna Valentina Luparelli,Augusta Caligiani,Laura Ioana Macavei,Lara Maistrello,Erasmo Neviani,Gianni Galaverna,Stefano Sforza,Camilla Lazzi +8 more
TL;DR: Results firstly highlighted fermentability of Hermetia illucens, showed that fermented black soldier flies puparium possess a high antimicrobial activity against tested pathogens, and result of chemical composition showed that fermentation biomass had a higher percentage of fat and a more complex fatty acids profile.

Effect of salinity on the formation of avermectins, odor compounds and fatty acids by Streptomyces avermitilis
Tomáš Řezanka,J. Votruba +1 more
TL;DR: Streptomyces avermitilis was cultivated at different concentrations of NaCl in the medium and the content of fatty acids, production of odorous compounds and avermectins were measured, and the biosynthesis of oxolones and geosmin differed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Newly Isolated Geobacillus sp. ZY-10 Degrading Hydrocarbons in Crude Oil.
TL;DR: An obligately thermophilic strain ZY-10 was isolated from the crude oil in a high-temperature oilfield, which was capable of degrading heavy crude oil, and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the isolate should be grouped in the genus Geobacillus.

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
M. D. Collins,Dorothy Jones +1 more
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.
