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:

Bio-Traps Coupled with Molecular Biological Methods and Stable Isotope Probing Demonstrate the In Situ Biodegradation Potential of MTBE and TBA in Gasoline-Contaminated Aquifers
Jennifer L. Busch-Harris,Kerry L. Sublette,Kenneth P. Roberts,Carla Landrum,Aaron D. Peacock,Greg A. Davis,Dora Ogles,William E. Holmes,David Harris,Christopher Ota,Xiaomin Yang,Arati Kolhatkar +11 more
TL;DR: Deployment of 13C‐MTBE‐ or 12C‐TBA‐amended bio‐traps in the plume clearly demonstrated the degradation of both MTBE and TBA under aquifer conditions through incorporation of 12C into membrane phospholipids.

The Intracellular Bacteria Chlamydia Hijack Peroxisomes and Utilize Their Enzymatic Capacity to Produce Bacteria-Specific Phospholipids
Gaelle Boncompain,Constanze Müller,Vannary Meas-Yedid,Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin,Paul B. Lazarow,Agathe Subtil +5 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy demonstrates that small organelles of the host, peroxisomes, are translocated into the Chlamydia inclusion and are found adjacent to the bacteria, demonstrating that peroxISomes are not essential for bacterial development in vitro.

Authigenic carbonates at cold seeps in the Marmara Sea (Turkey): A lipid biomarker and stable carbon and oxygen isotope investigation
Nicolas Chevalier,Ioanna Bouloubassi,Daniel Birgel,Antoine Crémière,Marie-Hélène Taphanel,Catherine Pierre +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main mineralogy, carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions and lipid biomarkers in authigenic carbonates retrieved from active seepage areas in the Marmara Sea were investigated.

Application of ARDRA and PLFA analysis in characterizing the bacterial communities of the food, gut and excrement of saprophagous larvae of Penthetria holosericea (Diptera: Bibionidae): a pilot study.
O. Oravecz,Dana Elhottová,Václav Krištůfek,Vladimír Šustr,Jan Frouz,Jan Tříska,Károly Márialigeti +6 more
TL;DR: Both methods indicated that conditions in the larval gut result in formation of a specific microbial community which differs from both the food and excrement ones.

Fatty acid reactivities in sediment cores from the northern Gulf of California
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the reactivity of three sediment cores from Delfin Basin, Northern Gulf of California (NGC), Mexico, and found that the long-chain terrigenous fatty acids are less labile than the shorter chained fatty acids from autochthonous sources.

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.
