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.

Bacterial and algal interactions in a Tasmanian estuary

TL;DR: Fluorescence in situ hybridisation, signature lipid profiling, and morphological data obtained during two Gymnodiniuni catenatum blooms and one diatom bloom demonstrate that algicidal bacteria can form a major part of the bacterial community.

Raman spectroscopy reveals alteration of spore compositions under different nutritional conditions in Lysinibacillus boronitolerans YS11.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Raman spectroscopy to analyze the heterogeneities in the three types of vegetative cells and their spores under different nutritional conditions Exponentially grown-each vegetative cell had different overall Raman peak values Raman peaks of SC, SD, and SF also showed differences in adenine and amide III compositions and nucleic acid contents.

Influence of physiological states of Emiliania huxleyi cells on their lipids and associated molecular isotopic compositions during microbial degradation

TL;DR: The results from these experiments imply that the variability in isotopic compositions of phytoplankton lipid compounds during microbial degradation is critically affected by physiological states of phytol, sterols, alkenones, and fatty acids.

Detailed analysis of the fatty acid composition of six plant-pathogenic bacteria.

TL;DR: The FA composition of Xcc, Xp, Cmm and Ssc were dominated by iso- and anteiso-fatty acids, which is typical for most bacteria, while Ac and Pst showed only saturated and monounsaturated FAs.

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

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.
