Tandem mass spectrometry methods to accelerate the identification of phytotoxic metabolites produced by sp. 39 PL.

Natural products isolated by microorganisms are interesting in the search for new compounds with several biological activities. However, low concentration and structural diversity make the isolation a time-consuming step. Tandem mass spectrometry is a well-established technology for the identification and characterization of target microbial natural products due to high sensitivity and selectivity of these experiments.
