Profiling of microbial communities in environmental samples often utilizes phospholipid fatty
acid (PLFA) analysis. This method has been used for more than 35 years and is still popular …

Odd-and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) in milk fat are largely derived from bacteria
leaving the rumen. The main OBCFA in milk of dairy cows are isomers of tetradecanoic acid …

Maintaining the high standards that made the previous editions such well-respected and
widely used references, Food Lipids: Chemistry, Nutrition, and Biotechnology, Fourth Edition …

To meet the energy requirements of high-yielding dairy cows, grains and fats have
increasingly been incorporated in ruminant diets. Moreover, lipid supplements have been …

▪ Abstract Organic solvents can be toxic to microorganisms, depending on the inherent
toxicity of the solvent and the intrinsic tolerance of the bacterial species and strains. The …

It has been known for several decades that cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) occur in the
phospholipids of many species of bacteria. CFAs are formed by the addition of a methylene …

Ruminal microorganisms hydrogenate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present in forages
and thereby restrict the availability of health-promoting PUFA in meat and milk. The aim of …

Chemical taxonomy based upon the composition of lipids is widely applied to investigate
microbial communities and fatty acids have recently been employed to connect soil …

Major active compounds from essential oils are well-known to possess antimicrobial activity
against both pathogen and spoilage microorganisms. The aim of this work was to determine …

Background Health-promoting polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are abundant in forages
grazed by ruminants and in vegetable and fish oils used as dietary supplements, but only a …
