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:

Construction of Bacteriophage-Based Bioluminescent Bioreporters for Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Monitoring
TL;DR: I have examined the final electronic copy of this dissertation for form and content and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, with a major in Microbiology.

Closely related intertidal and deep-sea Halomonhystera species have distinct fatty acid compositions
TL;DR: Experimental data revealed that only a decrease in temperature resulted in lower saturated fatty acids proportions, indicating that the FA content of H. hermesi is most likely a response to temperature but not to sulphide concentrations or salinity differences, and in experimental nematodes, EPA proportions were low and DHA was absent indicating that other factors than temperature, salinity and sulphides mediate the presence of these HUFAs in H.Hermesi.

Decreased lipid storage in juvenile Bering Sea crabs (Chionoecetes spp.) in a warm (2014) compared to a cold (2012) year on the southeastern Bering Sea
Louise A. Copeman,Louise A. Copeman,Clifford H. Ryer,Lisa B. Eisner,Jens M. Nielsen,Jens M. Nielsen,Mara L. Spencer,Paul Iseri,Michele L. Ottmar +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that continued warming and loss of sea ice across the Bering Sea may reduce juvenile crab lipid storage through both direct thermal effects as well as through the reduction of large-size phytoplankton delivered to the benthos.

Transfer and expression of the genes of Bacillus branched chain alpha-oxo acid decarboxylase in Lycopersicun esculentum
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of a small number of transgenic tomato plants and non-transformed control plants grown at 4oC showed enhanced cold tolerance in the transformed plants, suggesting a potential role for branched chain fatty acids as a protective mechanism for growth of plants under sub optimal temperatures.

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
M. D. Collins,Dorothy Jones +1 more
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.
