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:

Phospholipid molecular species profiles of tectiviruses infecting Gram-negative and Gram-positive hosts
TL;DR: The phospholipid (PL) molecular species compositions of bacteriophages PRD1 and Bam35 as well as their respective hosts were determined quantitatively using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass-Spectrometry and backed up by gas-chromatographic/mass-spectrometric analysis of the total fatty acids (FAs).

TL;DR: Listeria monocytogenes FabH showed a preference for 2-methylbutyryl-CoA, the precursor of odd-numbered anteiso fatty acids, at 30 degrees C, which was further increased at a low temperature, suggesting that temperature-dependent substrate selectivity of FabH underlies the increased formation of anteiso branched-chain fatty acids during low-temperature adaptation.

TL;DR: The peptide moiety of the surfactin is synthesized using huge multienzymatic proteins called NonRibosomal Peptide Synthetases.

Changes in whole cell-derived fatty acids induced by naphthalene in bacteria from genus Pseudomonas.
TL;DR: The results showed that naphthalene induced in tested strains different changes in fatty acids composition, which may suggest that in the presence of nAPHthalene microorganisms used different adaptive mechanisms to maintain the cells in appropriate physiological state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Under-ice availability of phytoplankton lipids is key to freshwater zooplankton winter survival.
TL;DR: It is shown in a survival experiment that the copepod Leptodiaptomus minutus in a boreal lake does not survive five months under the ice without food, highlighting the importance of algal FA reserve accumulation for winter survival as a key ecological process in the annual life cycle of the freshwater plankton community.

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.
