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:

Use of lipids to study the trophic ecology of deep-sea xenophyophores
TL;DR: This study compares the lipid composition of xenophyophores at the top of cores with sediment from the same mesotrophic environment devoid of these pro- tists, and points to the occurrence of a specialized bacterial flora growing on the stercomes, which might serve as a secondary food source different from the microflora found in the control sediment.

Strand specific RNA-sequencing and membrane lipid profiling reveals growth phase-dependent cold stress response mechanisms in Listeria monocytogenes
TL;DR: Collectively, this research provides new information regarding cold-induced membrane composition changes in L. monocytogenes, the growth-phase dependency of its cold-stress regulon, and the active roles of antisense transcripts in regulating its cold stress response.

Bacterial l-leucine catabolism as a source of secondary metabolites
TL;DR: The usage by bacterial species of l-Leucine as an alternative carbon and nitrogen source may contribute to their environment adaptability and, more importantly, the diverse products that can be obtained from l-leucine metabolism may be represent a valuable source of compounds of biotechnological interest.

Biosynthesis of cervimycin C, an aromatic polyketide antibiotic bearing an unusual dimethylmalonyl moiety
TL;DR: The biosynthetic origin of cervimycin was studied by molecular studies and feeding experiments, which reveal that the dimethylmalonate unit is not derived from malonate, but from valine.

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.
