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:

β-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase III (FabH) Is a Determining Factor in Branched-Chain Fatty Acid Biosynthesis
TL;DR: The biochemical basis for the production of branched-chain fatty acids by gram-positive bacteria is examined and the substrate specificity of FabH is an important determinant of brANChed- chain fatty acid production.

Role in Cell Permeability of an Essential Two-Component System in Staphylococcus aureus
TL;DR: P phenotypes, including hypersensitivity to unsaturated long-chain fatty acids and suppression of the conditional lethal phenotype by high sucrose and NaCl concentrations, suggest that the role of the two-component system includes the proper regulation of bacterial cell wall or membrane composition.

Adaptations of archaeal and bacterial membranes to variations in temperature, pH and pressure
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the presence of membrane spanning ether-lipids and methyl branches shows a striking relationship with the growth boundaries of archaea and bacteria.

Trophic transfer of fatty acids, sterols, and a triterpenoid alcohol between bacteria, a ciliate, and the copepod Acartia tonsa
TL;DR: The results suggest that bacterivorous ciliates may not provide copepod with adequate nutritional requirements for long-term survival, but that lipids unique to bacteria and ciliate can be assimilated by and may provide useful tracers of consumption by copepods.

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.
