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:

Structural diversity of diether lipids in carbonate chimneys at the Lost City Hydrothermal Field
TL;DR: The glycosylated non-isoprenoidal diether lipids at Lost City contain a previously undetected combination of archaeal and bacterial traits that might be an adaptive response to the vent environment, and it is hypothesize that utilization of glycosydic head groups instead of phosphatidyl head groups is a strategy for conservation of phosphate by organisms growing in fluids low in this essential nutrient.

Genome-wide mRNA profiling in glucose starved Bacillus subtilis cells.

TL;DR: The data suggest that glucose-starved cells are able to degrade branched-chain fatty acids to pyruvate and succinate via propionyl-CoA using the methylcitrate pathway, which appears to link lipid degradation to gluconeogenesis in glucose- starved cells.

TL;DR: The absence of methanogens from this subsurface ecosystem is somewhat surprising, and may be attributable to an energy bottleneck that restricts their migration from surface permafrost deposits where they are frequently reported.

TL;DR: Under conditions of high grazing pressure on phytoplankton with or without the addition of inorganic nutrients, the ¹³C enrichment of bacterial lipids was low compared with the high total bacterial production, and BP seems to depend mainly on freshly produced phy toplankon exudates during the early phase of phy Topolankton bloom period.

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.

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.
