Identification of a novel fatty acid in the cell membrane of Chryseobacterium frigidisoli PB4T isolated from an East Antarctic glacier forefield

TL;DR: The dominance of the ai -17:2ω3,7 at 0 °C cultivation temperature suggests its importance for cell membrane adaptation of C. frigidisoli with respect to low ambient temperature conditions.

Carbon flows in natural plankton communities in the Anthropocene

TL;DR: In this article, carbon flows in plankton communities were studied, both in marine systems in relation to (ocean) acidification, and in freshwater systems with respect to eutrophication.

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.
