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:

Isolation and characterisation of new spore-forming lactic acid bacteria with prospects of use in food fermentations and probiotic preparations
A. Bayane,B. Diawara,Robin Dubois Dauphin,Jacqueline Destain,Dominique Roblain,Philippe Thonart +5 more
TL;DR: This work shows an important diversity within the spore-forming lactic acid bacteria and confirms the conclusions of previous works, which have already shown that the SFLAB (Spore Forming Lactic Acid Bacteria) were good candidates for food fermentation and the probiotic formulations.

The role of microbial populations in the cycling of iron and manganese from marine aggregates
TL;DR: It is evident that marine aggregates can be a source of Fe(II) and dissolved Mn, in coastal waters and most probably other natural water systems.

Fatty Acids and Lipids
TL;DR: Chemical factors like nutritional substrates, temperature, and physical dynamics during growth all can influence the types of lipids and their relative ratios inside the cell and potentially leave diagnostic biosignatures that are unique to a specific production process.

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.
