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:

Venke Kristoffersen,Marte Jenssen,Heba Raid Jawad,Johan Isaksson,Espen Hansen,Teppo Rämä,Kine Østnes Hansen,Jeanette Hammer Andersen +7 more
TL;DR: The Lacinutrix genus was discovered in 2005 and includes 12 Gram-negative bacterial species as mentioned in this paper, and the secondary metabolite production potential of this genus has not been explored before.
Journal Article
Effect of age on the fatty acid composition of the Bacillus subtilis PO270 isolated from wheat rhizosphere.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the fatty acid composition of this bacterium changes greatly in different growth phases, which represents re-arrangement of membranes, which keeps the bacterial cell fit during growth and counteracts the effects of the changing environment.

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.

Lipids in the Classification and Identification of Coryneform Bacteria Containing Peptidoglycans Based on 2, 4-diaminobutyric Acid
M. D. Collins,Dorothy Jones +1 more
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.
