Branched-chain dicarboxylic acids

Branched-chain dicarboxylic acids are a class of dicarboxylic acids in which a central carbon atom is bound to three or more carbon atoms. Long-chain dicarboxylic acids containing vicinal dimethyl branching near the centre of the carbon chain have been discovered in the genus Butyrivibrio, bacteria which participate in the digestion of cellulose in the rumen.
