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:

Biosynthesis of Lipids and Hydrocarbons in Algae
Masato Baba,Yoshihiro Shiraiwa +1 more
TL;DR: Lipids function as important storage compounds to maintain cellular activities to store high reducing power and energy since those biosynthetic processes require high amount of reducing cofactors and ATP.

The alkyl glycerol ether lipid composition of heterotrophic sulfate reducing bacteria strongly depends on growth substrate
Arnauld Vinçon-Laugier,Vincent Grossi,Muriel Pacton,Gilles Escarguel,Cristiana Cravo-Laureau +4 more
TL;DR: The average chain length and level of branching of each class of ether lipid remained remarkably stable whatever the growth substrate and the number of MAGE and DAGE homologues formed, indicating a compositional control of ether lipids by heterotrophic bacteria to maintain optimal membrane properties.

Impacts of pH and temperature on soil bacterial 3-hydroxy fatty acids: Development of novel terrestrial proxies
Canfa Wang,Canfa Wang,James A Bendle,Yi Yang,Huan Yang,Huiling Sun,Junhua Huang,Shucheng Xie +7 more
TL;DR: This study analysed the hydroxylated membrane lipids of 26 soil samples from an altitudinal transect of Shennongjia Mountain in central China to study the environmental factors controlling the relative distribution of 3-OH-FAs and demonstrated the physiological response of Gram-negative bacterial cell membranes to the external environment.

Hydrogenoanaerobacterium saccharovorans gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from H2-producing UASB granules.
Lei Song,Xiuzhu Dong +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the two strains isolated from a laboratory-scale H(2)-producing up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor represent a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Hydrogenoanaerobacterium saccharovorans gen. nov. is proposed.

Chemical modulation of the biological activity of reutericyclin: a membrane-active antibiotic from Lactobacillus reuteri.
Philip T. Cherian,Xiaoqian Wu,Marcus M. Maddox,Aman P. Singh,Aman P. Singh,Richard E. Lee,Julian G. Hurdle +6 more
TL;DR: The SAR of the Lactobacillus reuteri membrane-active antibiotic reutericyclin was explored, showing that by increasing antibacterial potency the selectivity index could be widened, allowing use of lower non-cytotoxic doses.

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.

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.
