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:

Effects of Increasing Doses of Condensed Tannins Extract from Cistus ladanifer L. on In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation and Biohydrogenation
Olinda Guerreiro,Susana P. Alves,Mónica Costa,Maria F. Duarte,Eliana Jerónimo,Rui J.B. Bessa +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of increasing the doses of C. ladanifer CT extract (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg dry matter (DM)) on in vitro ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) was investigated.

First total syntheses of (Z)-15-methyl-10-hexadecenoic acid and the (Z)-13-methyl-8-tetradecenoic acid
TL;DR: It is proposed that the best synthetic strategy towards monounsaturated iso methyl-branched fatty acids with double bonds close to the omega end of the acyl chain is first acetylides coupling of (trimethylsilyl)acetylene to a long-chain bifunctional bromoalkane followed by a second acetylide coupling to a short-chain iso bromOalkane, since higher yields are thus obtained.

New and Uncommon Fatty Acids in Lipids of Deep-Sea Foraminifera
TL;DR: Fatty acids of agglutinating foraminifera of two genera, Bathysiphon and Rhabdammina, collected from a depth of 3307–3377 m in the Kuril Basin, Sea of Okhotsk, and adjacent deep-sea waters of the Pacific Ocean, were analyzed.

Organic matter cycling in hypoxic environments : the role of oxygen availability and benthic faunal communities
TL;DR: The role of benthic fauna living on and in the seafloor of marine sediments is investigated in this article, where whole-community experiments were conducted at sites with a natural range of biogeochemical characteristics, across the Indian Margin oxygen minimum zone (Arabian Sea) and the Gotland Basin (Baltic Sea).

Investigation of cellular fatty acid composition of Xanthomonas spp. as chemical markers of productivity and quality of xanthan gum.
Andréa Lobo Miranda,Samantha Serra Costa,Denilson de Jesus Assis,Bianca Bomfim Andrade,Carolina Oliveira de Souza,Maria Beatriz P.P. Oliveira,Alaíse Gil Guimarães,Janice Izabel Druzian +7 more
TL;DR: The unsaturated/saturated (U/S) fatty acid ratio in Xanthomonas cells during fermentation was correlated with production, viscosity, and molecular weight of the gum obtained at each 24 h, and it was possible to determine a production chemical marker for xanthan gum in X anthomonas strains.

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.
