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:

Application of fatty acids for chemotaxonomy of reef-building corals.
TL;DR: Family-specific compositions of coral zooxanthellae characterized by different PUFA profiles, which affect the PUFA content of whole coral colonies, were supposed to be the probable cause of the discovered chemotaxonomic distinctions between reef-building corals.

Factors influencing the membrane fluidity and the impact on production of lactic acid bacteria starters.
Fernanda Fonseca,Caroline Pénicaud,E. Elizabeth Tymczyszyn,Andrea Gómez-Zavaglia,Stéphanie Passot +4 more
TL;DR: The aims of this mini-review are to define the membrane fluidity and the methods used to assess it and to summarize the effect of environmental conditions on membrane fluidITY and the resulting impact on the resistance of lactic acid bacteria to the stabilization processes.

TL;DR: CD1d-binding lipid-displacement studies revealed that the microbial phosphatidylglycerol Ag binds significantly better to CD1d than do counterparts with the same headgroup, providing an explanation for its increased Ag potency compared with the mammalian counterpart.

Regulation and phase equilibria of membrane lipids from Bacillus megaterium and Acholeplasma laidlawii strain A containing methyl-branched acyl chains.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the regulation of the polar head-group composition compensates for the difference in acyl chain packing introduced into the bilayer by the three branched-chain fatty acids.

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.
