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:

Bioreactivity of estuarine dissolved organic matter: A combined geochemical and microbiological approach
TL;DR: It is suggested that, although the geochemical signature of algal-derived OM in the dissolved phase may appear quantitatively insignificant, this fraction may nevertheless represent a principal source of bioreactive OM to heterotrophic bacteria in estuarine waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient physical forcing of pulsed export of bioreactive material to the deep Sargasso Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that transient, upper ocean forcing associated with variable upper ocean physical structure and variable meteorological forcing can have an enormous effect on the export flux of bioreactive organic material.

Effect of α-linolenic, capric and lauric acid on the fatty acid biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: The results suggested that FAs pathway is the major target of alpha-linolenic acid and that other enzymes in addition to FabI are involved in S. aureus response mechanism when medium chain fatty acids are present.

Understanding the equine cecum-colon ecosystem: current knowledge and future perspectives.
TL;DR: This review paper intends to gather existing information on the equine ecosystem and to provide future perspectives of research on the cecum-colon microbial quantification of the hindgut ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The esg locus of Myxococcus xanthus encodes the E1α and E1β subunits of a branched‐chain keto acid dehydrogenase
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a model in which the esg‐encoded enzyme is involved in the synthesis of branched‐chain fatty acids during vegetative growth, and these compounds are used later in cell‐cell signalling during development.

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.
