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:

Biochemical and Genetic Insights into Asukamycin Biosynthesis
Zhe Rui,Kateřina Petříčková,František Škanta,Stanislav Pospisil,Yanling Yang,Chung-Yung Chen,Shih-Feng Tsai,Heinz G. Floss,Miroslav Petříček,Tin-Wein Yu +9 more
TL;DR: Bioinformatic analysis and mutagenesis studies elucidated the biosynthetic pathway at the genetic and biochemical level and limits the cellular level of ω-cyclohexyl fatty acids and likely maintains homeostasis of the cellular membrane.

Metabolic control of the membrane fluidity in Bacillus subtilis during cold adaptation.
TL;DR: Cold adaptation of membrane fluidity in Bacillus subtilis was characterized by fatty acid analysis and by measuring the midpoint of phospholipid phase transition T(m) (differential scanning calorimetry) and membranes fluidity (DPH fluorescence polarization).

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.
