Article Synopsis
- Researchers engineered microbial strains to boost fatty acid production for industrial uses, but quickly screening these strains is a challenge.
- The study introduced a rapid method using laser ablation electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LAESI-MS) to analyze triacylglycerols in Aurantiochytrium sp. cultures directly on agar plates.
- A Python tool, TAFA-LEMS, was developed to process the resulting mass spectrometry data, making LAESI-MS an efficient, stable, and reproducible technique for identifying fatty acid contents, with fast data acquisition rates and promising applications for other microbial strains.
