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.

Assessment of lipid classes and fatty acid levels in wild newborn seahorses (Hippocampus erectus) (Perry 1810): implications for survival and growth in aquarium culture

TL;DR: The results suggested that high levels of 22:6n-3 rather than 20:5 n-3 could increase juvenile survival and assist them to tolerate salinity changes better and a diet of live prey enriched with 22: 6n- 3 would be likely to increase the growth and survival in captivity, at least for this species.

Artificial groundwater recharge in forests - soil fauna and microbiology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of earthworms in the long-term sustainability of the Lange Erlen recharge system and found that earthworms are an important factor of water infiltration and aeration.

Identification of High and Low Branched-Chain Fatty Acid-Producing Phenotypes in Holstein Cows following High-Forage and Low-Forage Diets in a Crossover Designed Trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined whether forage content impacts the BCFA content of milk from Holstein cows and identified fatty acid phenotypes in high vs. low BCFA-containing milks.

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.
