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:

Biochemical Composition of Protists: Dependency on Diet and Trophic Mode and Consequences for their Nutritional Quality
TL;DR: It is concluded that dietary fatty acid and amino acid composition influences the composition of the four freshwater protist species to a minor extent, and that species-specific differences in fatty acids and amino acids metabolism are more important determinants of the biochemical composition in the analysed heterotrophic protists.

Use of fatty acids as tracer of organic matter input associated with level of land urbanization
Angela Ethelis Jiménez Martínez,Aluana Schleder,Juan Sanez,Anelize Manuela Bahniuk,Sandro Froehner +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a tropical river was chosen to understand the main source of input considering the level of land occupation along the river, and the source of organic matter was traced through fatty acid distribution, as well as erosion.

Fatty Acids from the Sponge Tedania dirhaphis
TL;DR: In this article, the fatty acid composition of total lipids from the marine sponge Tedania dirhaphis from the Sea of Okhotsk was studied, with particular attention being paid to components with 14-22 C atoms.

Weidi Li,Liang Jie,Liang Jie,Renqiang Yu,Qingzhe Jin,Shanyu Jiang,Qitao Yin,Wei Wei,Xingguo Wang +8 more
TL;DR: The gestational age was likely to affect BCFA concentrations, with the vernix caseosa and meconium BCFA content being significantly higher in full‐term infants than in preterm infants (p < .001).

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.
