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:

Fatty acids, C and N dynamics and stable isotope ratios during experimental degradation of shrimp pond effluents in mangrove water.
TL;DR: Proportions of the FA 18:1ω7 increased in MI during incubation, suggesting that this FA may be used as a tracer of anthropogenic substances release in marine environments.

TL;DR: It is suggested that changes in the parasite membrane permeability may explain the pleiotropic effects observed within the intracellular parasites.

Effect of different bacterial species on the growth kinetics of the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Jakoba libera
B. R. Mohapatra,Kimio Fukami +1 more
TL;DR: Variations in growth kinetics of J. libera -5(2) on different bacterial strains are supporting evidence for the hypothesis that HNF mediated grazing may be responsible for structuring bacterial species composition in marine environments.

The structure and thermotropic phase behaviour of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine codispersed with a branched-chain phosphatidylcholine.
TL;DR: The data suggest that structural changes that take place on cooling the mixed dispersion below the lamellar<-->nonlamellar phase transition temperature cannot be adequately described using the molecular form concept.

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.
