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:

Sediment lipid biomarkers as recorders of the contamination and cultural eutrophication of Lake Erie, 1909–2003
YueHan Lu,Philip A. Meyers +1 more
TL;DR: This paper evaluated the hydrocarbon (HC), fatty acid (FA) and fatty alcohol (OL) contents of a century-long sediment core from the lake as recorders of the changes in biogeochemical processes that accompanied its eutrophication.

Integrated metabolomics approach facilitates discovery of an unpredicted natural product suite from Streptomyces coelicolor M145.
TL;DR: This investigation analyzed the secreted metabolome of the extensively studied Actinomycete, Streptomyces coelicolor M145, and discovered a low-abundant suite of 15 trihydroxamate, amphiphilic siderophores, which represent the unexplored metabolic potential of both well-studied and new organisms that could be uncovered with this sensitive and robust approach.

Lipid biomarkers in Hamelin Pool microbial mats and stromatolites.
Michelle A. Allen,Brett A. Neilan,Brendan P. Burns,Linda L. Jahnke,Linda L. Jahnke,Roger E. Summons,Roger E. Summons +6 more
TL;DR: The overall lipid profiles of the three sediment types were similar, suggesting that extant non-lithified microbial mats and stromatolites can comprise similar microbial communities.

5.03 – Particulate Organic Carbon Cycling and Transformation
Thomas S. Bianchi,James E. Bauer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general background on the sources, transformation, and transport of particulate organic carbon (POC) in estuarine and other coastal systems is provided, and the complexity of trophic dynamics is covered elsewhere in this treatise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different cellular fatty acid pattern behaviours of two strains of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and CNL 895807 under different temperature and salinity conditions
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the CNL strain showed different behaviours of low thermal and salt adaptation to maintain membrane fluidity, which are based both on an increase of anteiso-branched- chain fatty acids, and a significant decrease of straight-chain 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.
