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:

Biosynthesis of ω-alicyclic fatty acids induced by cyclic precursors and change of membrane fluidity in thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Meiothermus ruber.
TL;DR: Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of fatty acid methyl and picolinyl esters showed that both thermophilic strains are able to synthesize ω-FAs when cultivated with the appropriate precursor.

Growth Medium-Dependent Regulation of Myxococcus xanthus Fatty Acid Content Is Controlled by the esg Locus
TL;DR: The higher branched-chain fatty acid content of the cells grown in the complex medium was dependent on the esg locus, which encodes the E1alpha and E1beta components of a branching-chain keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKAD) multienzyme complex involved in brANChed- chain fatty acid biosynthesis.

TL;DR: A biosynthetic pathway using pivalic acid as a starter unit was found in three bacterial species, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Streptomyces avermitilis, and yielded all three branched FAs.

TL;DR: In this paper , a stand-alone oxidase NrsB was found to catalyze the iterative oxidation of multithiazoline to multiithiazole in bacillothiazol biosynthesis, which implied an unprecedented pathway of polythiazole formation in microbial NRPs.

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.
