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 and Other Lipids of Marine Sponges
TL;DR: The great majority of the works on research of FA structure in sponges was focused on representatives of the class Demospongiae and was carried out on organisms from tropical and subtropical areas, whereas sponge from the boreal region remain poorly studied.

Sequence, transcriptional, and functional analyses of the valine (branched-chain amino acid) dehydrogenase gene of Streptomyces coelicolor.
Li Tang,C. R. Hutchinson +1 more
TL;DR: The gene encoding the valine (branched-chain amino acid) dehydrogenase (Vdh) from Streptomyces coelicolor has been characterized and nucleotide sequence analysis predicts that the vdh gene contains a 364-amino-acid open reading frame that should produce a 38,305-M(r) protein.

FasR, a novel class of transcriptional regulator, governs the activation of fatty acid biosynthesis genes in Streptomyces coelicolor
TL;DR: These data provide the first example of positive regulation of genes encoding core proteins of saturated fatty acid synthase complex, as well as a role for this transcription factor as an activator within actinomycetes.

Signalling pathways controlling fatty acid desaturation.
TL;DR: Recently discovered components and mechanisms of the regulatory machinery governing the transcription of fatty acid desaturases in bacteria, yeast and animals are reviewed.

Production rates of bacterial tetraether lipids and fatty acids in peatland under varying oxygen concentrations
Arnaud Huguet,Travis B. Meador,Fatima Laggoun-Défarge,Martin Könneke,Weichao Wu,Sylvie Derenne,Kai-Uwe Hinrichs +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the production rates of brGDGTs under different redox conditions in peat, where these lipids are found in high concentrations, particularly at greater depths below the fluctuating water table.

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.
