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:

Bacterial volatiles: the smell of small organisms
TL;DR: This review describes volatiles released into the air by bacteria growing on defined media and an effort has been made to organize the compounds according to their biosynthetic origin.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences and fatty acid compositions of the novel isolates and established species of thermophilic bacilli indicated that the subsurface strains represent two new species within a new genus, for which the names Geobacillus subterraneus gen. nov., sp.nov.

Comparative organic geochemistries of soils and marine sediments
John I. Hedges,J.M Oades +1 more
TL;DR: In the ocean, nitrogen-rich microorganisms produce and recycle most organic matter in the water column, from which degraded particles rain onto the underlying sea floor and the buried organic matter joins the geological cycle, surfacing again millions of years later as kerogen uplifted in continental rocks as discussed by the authors.

Comparative Analysis of Methane-Oxidizing Archaea and Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Anoxic Marine Sediments
Victoria J. Orphan,Kai-Uwe Hinrichs,William Ussler,Charles K. Paull,Lance T. Taylor,Sean P. Sylva,John M. Hayes,Edward F. DeLong +7 more
TL;DR: Results of rRNA gene surveys and lipid analyses of archaea and bacteria associated with methane seep sediments from several different sites on the Californian continental margin suggest that other bacteria and archaea are also involved in methane oxidation in these environments.

Fatty acids of a non-pigmented, thermophilic bacterium similar to Thermus aquaticus.
TL;DR: The fatty acid composition of a recently isolated, extreme thermophilic bacterium of the genus Thermus has been determined and has been shown to be significantly different from that of Thermus aquaticus YT-1 when the two bacteria were grown under the same cultural conditions.

Phospholipid and acid composition of Nocardia and nocardoid bacteria as criteria of classification
M.T. Pommier,G. Michel +1 more
TL;DR: Phospholipid and acid composition are discussed as criteria of taxonomic classification of Nocardia and related Actinomycetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid composition and primer specificity of de novo fatty acid synthetase in Bacillus globispores, Bacillus insolitus, and Bacillus psychrophilus.
TL;DR: The fatty acid compositions of three psychrophilic species of Bacillus were determined by gas--liquid chromatography and showed that B. insolitus, which has an unusually large proportion of straight-chain fatty acids for Bacillus, does not possess a different de novo fatty acid synthetase than the other two organisms.

Major occurrence of cis-Δ5 fatty acids in three psychrophilic species of Bacillus☆
TL;DR: Monounsaturated fatty acids occur in Bacillus insolitus, Bacillus psychrophilus, and Bacillus globisporus in unusually large proportions for this genus.

Chemotaxonomy of the genus Capnocytophaga (Leadbetter, Holt & Socransky)
TL;DR: The results of the study indicate that the genus Capnocytophaga (Leadbetter, Holt & Socransky) is a homogeneous taxon distinct from the genus Bacteroides.
