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:

Microbial Fatty Acids and Thermal Adaptation
Merja Suutari,Siino Laakso +1 more
TL;DR: The models presented enable the prediction of temperature-induced changes occurring in the fatty acids of microorganisms, and enzymatic steps of the fatty acid biosynthesis that possibly are under temperature control.
Journal ArticleDOI
The taxonomy of Streptomyces and related genera.
TL;DR: This review addresses the current status of streptomycete taxonomy, highlighting the value of a polyphasic approach that utilizes genotypic and phenotypic traits for the delimitation of species within the genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do sterols reduce proton and sodium leaks through lipid bilayers
TL;DR: A novel mechanism for proton leakage through lipid bilayers is proposed and a structure-function rationale for distinguishing the structures of the phytosterols as inhibitors of proton leaks from that of cholesterol which is proposed to inhibit leaks of Na(+).

Biomarker evidence for widespread anaerobic methane oxidation in Mediterranean sediments by a consortium of methanogenic archaea and bacteria
Richard D. Pancost,Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté,Saskia de Lint,Marc J. E. C. van der Maarel,Jan C. Gottschal +4 more
TL;DR: Sediment samples from mud volcanoes at two distinct sites on the Mediterranean Ridge were collected via the submersible Nautile to examine processes of methane consumption and oxidation and indicate that this process is widespread in Mediterranean mud volcanooes and in some localized settings is the predominant microbiological process.

Accuracy, reproducibility, and interpretation of Fatty Acid methyl ester profiles of model bacterial communities.
Sheridan K. Haack,Helen Garchow,David A. Odelson,David A. Odelson,Larry J. Forney,Michael J. Klug +5 more
TL;DR: Community fatty acid profiles can be used to assess the relative similarities and differences of microbial communities that differ in taxonomic composition but must be viewed with caution until knowledge of the quantitative and qualitative distribution of fatty acids over a wide variety of taxa and the effects of growth conditions is more extensive.

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.
