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:

Natural-abundance radiocarbon as a tracer of assimilation of petroleum carbon by bacteria in salt marsh sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used radiocarbon analysis of bacterial phospholipid lipid fatty acids (PLFAs) in salt-marsh sediments of southeast Georgia (USA) to assess the fate of petroleum-derived carbon in sediments and incorporation of fossil carbon into microbial biomass.

Fungi contribute more than bacteria to soil organic matter through necromass accumulation under different agricultural practices during the early pedogenesis of a Mollisol
TL;DR: The contribution of different community compositions are not well understood, particularly at the initial stage of soil development as discussed by the authors, and the contributions of different communities contribute to the sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether triclosan resistance contributes to ciprofloxacin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus and found that resistance to both drugs maps to genes encoding multi-drug efflux pumps.

Fatty acid composition of aquatic insect larvae Stictochironomus pictulus (Diptera: Chironomidae): evidence of feeding upon methanotrophic bacteria
TL;DR: The data suggest that S. pictulus larvae directly feed upon methanotrophic bacteria, the first time such a fatty acid biomarker has been described from freshwater invertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Monochromator Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of Whole Bacteria and Bacterial Spores
TL;DR: The results presented here demonstrate the utility of the electron monochromator for selectively ionizing compounds directly in bacteria and bacterial spores.

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.
