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.

Carbon flows in eutrophic Lake Rotsee: a 13 C-labelling experiment

TL;DR: Eutrophic Lake Rotsee was net autotrophic during experiments, potentially storing large amounts of carbon, and cyanobacteria as dominating organisms was investigated.

Conditions stimulating neutral detergent fiber degradation by dosing branched-chain volatile fatty acids. III: Relation with solid passage rate and pH on prokaryotic fatty acid profile and community in continuous culture.

TL;DR: The authors evaluated potential interactions in culture conditions that influence how exogenously dosed branched-chain VFA (BCVFA) would be recovered as elongated fatty acids (FA) or would affect bacterial populations.

Cover crop mixture diversity and function

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of cover crop species and functional richness on aboveground biomass productivity, weed suppression, soil nutrient retention, soil microbial community characteristics, and performance stability.

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.
