Iso- and anteiso-fatty acids in bacteria: biosynthesis, function, and taxonomic significance.
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:

Monocarboxylic, dicarboxylic and hydroxy acids released by sequential treatments of suspended particles and sediments of the Black Sea
TL;DR: In this article, high variable mixtures of free and bound monocarboxylic acids are present in particulate matter from oxic and anoxic zones of the water column and underlying sediments of the Black Sea, and three pools of acids were obtained by sequential treatment: (1) an organic solvent-extractable free fraction, (2) an OH−-labile fraction released by alkaline hydrolysis of the solvent extracted material, and (3) a H+-fraction obtained by acid hydrolyisation of extracted and base-hydro

Fatty acid composition of mixed-rumen bacteria: effect of concentration and type of forage.
TL;DR: The results suggest that, for diets not supplemented with fat, mixed rumen bacteria accumulated energy reserves by increasing synthesis of either even-chain saturated FA, or saturated odd-chain FA and saturated branched-chainFA.

Photosynthetic symbionts of Aeschynomene spp. form a cluster with bradyrhizobia on the basis of fatty acid and rRNA analyses.
TL;DR: Although the results of the FAME and 16S rRNA analyses were in excellent agreement, the placement of the photosynthetic rhizobia is in apparent conflict with phenotypic data, as determined by numerical taxonomy (Ladha and So, Int. Syst. Bacteriol., in press).

Branching Out: Alterations in Bacterial Physiology and Virulence Due to Branched-Chain Amino Acid Deprivation
TL;DR: How studies have refined the individual roles of BCAAs, shed light on how BCAA auxotrophy might promote higher sensitivity to exogenous BCAA levels, and revealed pathogen-specific responses to BCAA deprivation are discussed.

The Bacillus subtilis Acyl Lipid Desaturase Is a Δ5 Desaturase
TL;DR: The double bond of UFAs synthesized by B. subtilis is located exclusively at the Δ5 position, regardless of the growth temperature and the length chain of the fatty acids.

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.
