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:

Fatty Acids of Marine Mollusks: Impact of Diet, Bacterial Symbiosis and Biosynthetic Potential.
TL;DR: The main objective of this review is to focus on the most important factors and causes determining the biodiversity of the mollusk FAs, with an emphasis on the key relationship of these FAs with the food spectrum and trophic preference.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Phospholipid Fatty Acid Analysis to Measure Impact of Acid Rock Drainage on Microbial Communities in Sediments
TL;DR: The study demonstrated the successful application of PLFA analysis to rapidly assess the toxicity of ARD-affected waters and sediments and to differentiate this response from the effects of other pollutants, such as increased nutrients and salinity.

Identification of sulfoglycolipid bioactivities and characteristic fatty acids of marine macroalgae.
Cheng-Jung Tsai,Bonnie Sun Pan +1 more
TL;DR: Red algae had relatively higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and were richer in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) than green and brown algae and inhibited the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2).

Cloning and Inactivation of a Branched-Chain-Amino-Acid Aminotransferase Gene from Staphylococcus carnosus and Characterization of the Enzyme
Søren M. Madsen,Hans Christian Beck,Peter Ravn,Astrid Vrang,Anne Maria Hansen,Hans Israelsen +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that IlvE was the only enzyme that catalyzed the deamination of BCAAs in S. carnosus, and normal growth rate and biomass yield were restored by addition of the three BCAA-derived α-keto acids, showing that degradation products of B CAAs were essential for optimal cell growth.

Differentiation of Gram-Negative, Nonfermentative Bacteria Isolated from Biofilters on the Basis of Fatty Acid Composition, Quinone System, and Physiological Reaction Profiles
TL;DR: Gram-negative, nonfermentative bacteria isolated from biofilters for off-gas treatment of animal-rendering-plant emissions were differentiated by whole-cell fatty acid analysis, quinone analysis, and numerical taxonomy based on their physiological reaction profiles.

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.
