A direct comparison between fatty acid analysis and intact phospholipid pro®ling for microbial identi®cation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two chemical methods for characterization of micro organisms were compared: phospholipid ester-linked fatty acid (PLFA) analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and intact phospholipid pro®ling (IPP) using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry. Both methods were tested on ®ve reference pseudomonad strains: Pseudomonas putida mt-2, Pseudomonas putida F1, Burkholderia cepacia G4, Burkholderia pickettii PKO1, and Pseudomonas mendocina KR1. PLFA detected eight major fatty acids in these pseudomonads, ranging in chain length from C14 to C19. IPP detected 16 phospholipids in three dierent classes: phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidyl-dimethylethanolamine. Factor analysis of the data showed that IPP is superior to the PLFA technique in microbial dierentiation and identi®cation. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: Researchers have indicated that mammalian spermatozoa are characterized by a high proportion of saturated, n-6 and n-3 series of fatty acids (FA). Major FA in rams’ sperm consists of C16, C18:1 and C22:6 (DHA). Little information exists on the effective use of saturated and unsaturated FA for ram whereas lipids have important role in sperm fertility. Our Background was to determine ...
