Published: October 2014

Mass spectrometry technology has enabled significant advances in detailing the alterations of the lipidome in response to pathological conditions or experimental manipulations. Lipids comprise a wide range of compounds with functions that include structural, intracellular signaling, trafficking, and storage. Characterization of lipid species has evolved significantly over recent years due to the progress made in the area of mass spectrometry. This chapter details the methods used for the analysis of lipids tailored to the intrinsic characteristics of adipose tissue. Particular attention is given to the analysis of triglycerides, diacylglycerols, and phospholipid.

Three endophytic strains, Phomopsis sp., Fusarium proliferatum, and Tinctoporellus epimiltinus, isolated from various plants in the rainforest of the Philippines, were investigated regarding their ability to repress growth of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum musae on banana fruits causing anthracnose disease. An in vitro plate-to-plate assay and an in vivo sealed box assay were conducted, using commercial versus natural potato dextrose medium (PDA).

Bacterial endospores are ubiquitous and are responsible for various human infections. Recently, we reported that an ionic liquid (IL)-based sample preparation method (named pTRUST) facilitated highly efficient shotgun analysis of the Bacillus subtilis spore proteome in trace samples. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency and applicability of the pTRUST technology using three different spore preparations: one purified from the closely related subspecies B.

Native Mass Spectrometry (nMS) is a versatile technique for elucidating protein structure. Surface-Induced Dissociation (SID) is an activation method in tandem MS predominantly employed for determining protein complex stoichiometry alongside information about interface strengths. SID-nMS data can be collected over a range of acceleration energies, yielding Energy Resolved Mass Spectrometry (ERMS) data.
