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:

Role of Branched-Chain Fatty Acids in pH Stress Tolerance in Listeria monocytogenes
TL;DR: Reduced growth of pH-sensitive mutants at adverse pH (5.0/9.0) was alleviated by the addition of 2-methylbutyrate (an anteiso-FA precursor), suggesting that anteISO-FAs are important in adaptation to adverse pH.

Isotopic fractionation associated with biosynthesis of fatty acids by a marine bacterium under oxic and anoxic conditions
TL;DR: Shewanella putrefaciens (Strain MR-4), a gram negative facultative marine bacterium, was grown to stationary phase under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions using lactate as the sole carbon source, causing detection of isotopically depleted fatty acids in sediments to be falsely attributed to a terrestrial origin.

Kinetics of phytoplankton decay during simulated sedimentation: changes in lipids under oxic and anoxic conditions
TL;DR: A series of oxic and anoxic incubations examined lipid degradation in two marine phytoplankton, the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii and the coccoid cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp, using flow-through systems without macrozooplankton grazers as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.
