Lipidomics of Environmental Microbial Communities. II: Characterization Using Molecular Networking and Information Theory.

ABSTRACT: Structurally diverse, specialized lipids are crucial components of microbial membranes and other organelles and play essential roles in ecological functioning. The detection of such lipids in the environment can reveal not only the occurrence of specific microbes but also the physicochemical conditions to which they are adapted to. Traditionally, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry allowed for the detection of lipids based on chromatographic separation and individual peak identification, resulting in a limited data acquisition and targeting of certain lipid groups. Here, we explored a comprehensive profiling of microbial lipids throughout the water column of a marine euxinic basin (Black Sea) using ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tand
