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:

Mark A. Stevenson,Johan C. Faust,Luiza L. Andrade,Felipe Sales de Freitas,Neil D. Gray,Karen Tait,Katharine R. Hendry,Robert G. Hilton,Sian F. Henley,Allyson Tessin,Peter Leary,Sonia Papadaki,Ailbe Ford,Christian März,Geoffrey D. Abbott +14 more
TL;DR: High-resolution, multi-disciplinary measurements illustrate how microbial processes involved in the degradation of organic matter are directly coupled with inorganic and organic geochemical sediment properties (measured and modelled) as well as the extent/depth of bioturbation.

Biogeochemical controls on microbial diversity in seafloor sulphidic sediments
Moritz Müller,Kim M. Handley,Kim M. Handley,Jonathan R. Lloyd,Rich D Pancost,Rachel A. Mills +5 more
TL;DR: This study combines organic and inorganic geochemical with microbiological measurements across a suboxic transition zone of highly altered sulphidic sediments from the Trans-Atlantic Geotransverse hydrothermal field to characterize the reaction products and microbial communities present.

Effects of dietary digestible fibre and soybean oil level on the odd-numbered, branched-chain and hydroxy-fatty acid composition of caecotrophs in rabbits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized shifts in caecotroph microbial FA induced by different dietary digestible fibre (DF) and soybean oil (SO) contents, in fattening rabbits.

Chemometric Analysis of Fatty Acids Profile of Ripening Chesses.
TL;DR: FA and CFA content may not only contribute to overall nutritional characteristics of cheese but also, when coupled with chemometric techniques, may be used as chemical biomarkers for assessing the origin and/or the type of ripening cheeses and the confirmation of their authenticity, which is of utmost importance for consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fettsäuresynthasen —Funktionsstrategien eines Multienzyms
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the cellular interior is organized structurally and functionally and is not simply a "bag of enzymes." This organization ranges from distinct and functionally specialized organelles down to subtle or even hypothetical structures at the molecular level.

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.
