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:

Metagenomic trajectory of gut microbiome in the human lifespan
TL;DR: These studies contribute to elucidate several aspects of the intestinal microbiome development during the human lifespan, depicting the microbiota as an extremely plastic entity, capable of being reconfigured in response to different environmental factors and/or stressors of endogenous origin.

Compound specific carbon isotope analysis for biomarkers associated with marine methanotrophy in the arctic
TL;DR: Dougherty et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a compound specific carbon isotope analysis of the seafloor sediments collected from the Methane in the Arctic Shelf/Slope (MITAS) Expedition in 2009.

Trophic upgrading of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by polychaetes: a stable isotope approach using Alitta virens
TL;DR: A putative biosynthetic pathway is proposed, terminating with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) via arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids (EPA) and involving a Δ8 desaturase, and shown strong evidence of lipid elongation and desaturation, but with a high rate of PUFA turnover.

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.
