Iso- and anteiso-fatty acids in bacteria: biosynthesis, function, and taxonomic significance.
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:

Lipid metabolism in the rumen: New insights on lipolysis and biohydrogenation with an emphasis on the role of endogenous plant factors
TL;DR: In this review, results of synthesis of conjugated linoleic and linolenic acid isomers in the rumen, effects of the lipids in herbage, and plant endogenous factors on synthesis of nutraceutical fatty acids are discussed.

The contribution of macrophyte‐derived organic matter to microbial biomass in salt‐marsh sediments: Stable carbon isotope analysis of microbial biomarkers
TL;DR: Stable carbon isotope ratios of bacterial biomarkers were determined to infer sources of organic carbon used by bacteria in the sediments of three salt marshes and suggested that local macrophyte production was of little importance and that other material was the dominant carbon source for bacterial growth.

Origins of lipid biomarkers in Santa Monica Basin surface sediment: a case study using compound-specific Δ 14 C analysis
TL;DR: In this article, Δ 14 C values were reported for 31 different lipid biomarker molecules obtained from Santa Monica Basin and Santa Barbara Basin surface sediments, including long-chain n-alkanes, fatty acids (as methyl esters; FAMEs), n -alcohols, C 30 midchain ketols and diols, sterols, hopanols, and C 40 isoprenoid side chains from the ether-linked glycerols of Archaea.

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.
