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:

Metatranscriptomic exploration of microbial functioning in clouds
Pierre Amato,Ludovic Besaury,Muriel Joly,Benjamin Penaud,Laurent Deguillaume,Anne-Marie Delort +5 more
TL;DR: A biological influence on cloud physical and chemical processes, acting notably on the oxidant capacity, iron speciation and availability, amino-acids distribution and carbon and nitrogen fates is supported.

The UV‐B stimulon of the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune comprises early shock proteins and late acclimation proteins
TL;DR: It is concluded that the UV‐B shock response and theUV‐B acclimation response represent two completely different and remarkably complex strategies of N. commune to protect itself against UV‐ B radiation in its natural environment.

In vivo analysis of straight-chain and branched-chain fatty acid biosynthesis in three actinomycetes
TL;DR: The starter units for branched-chain and straight-chain fatty acid biosynthesis was investigated in vivo in three actinomycetes using stable isotopes and confirmed to be biosynthesized using the amino acid degradation products methylbutyrl-CoA and isobutyrl -CoA as starter units.

Biosynthetic Gene Cluster for the Polyenoyltetramic Acid α-Lipomycin
C. Bihlmaier,Elisabeth Welle,Carsten Hofmann,Katrin Welzel,Andreas Vente,E Breitling,Michael Müller,Steffen J. Glaser,Andreas Bechthold +8 more
TL;DR: By analysis of culture extracts of these mutants, it is proved that, indeed, the genes involved in the biosynthesis of lipomycin had been cloned, and additionally, insight is gained into an unusual biosynthesis pathway.

Fatty acid biomarkers show dietary differences between dominant chironomid taxa in Lake Erken
TL;DR: Datom-specific and bacteria-specific fatty acids were used as biomarkers to evaluate the differences in diet between Chironomus plumosus and C. anthracinus and Procladius spp in this field study.

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.
