Brown macroalgae represent a sustainable and abundant source of lipids with acknowledged functional and health benefits. Nonetheless, macroalgae lipidome has been poorly unraveled due to lipids complex structural and chemical diversity. In this study, a comprehensive lipidomic analysis was performed in four macroalgae: Saccharina latissima, Fucus vesiculosus, Fucus serratus and the invasive Sargassum muticum, using HILIC-C30RP-HRMS. Neutral lipids (tri-, di-glycerides) comprised 72-82% of total lipids (TL) with a highly unsaturation profile (27-49% depending on species). The polar lipidome comprised glycolipids, phospholipids, betaine lipids and sphingolipids with varied content among macroalgae. S. latissima displayed the greatest level of glycolipids (23% of TL), by contrast with the dominance of long-chain polyunsaturated betaine lipids (10-18% of TL) in the other species, particularly in S. muticum. Phospholipids and sphingolipids were detected in low abundance (<1.7% of TL). This study elevated the potential of brown macroalgae as an emerging reservoir of bioactive lipids with nutritional relevance.

Article Synopsis
- Non-inheritable antibiotic resistance allows bacteria to survive treatment, with exogenous factors like high magnesium playing a significant role.
- Functional metabolomics show that magnesium affects fatty acid biosynthesis, leading to altered bacterial response to antibiotics based on the balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
- Lipid metabolism changes due to magnesium, specifically in glycerophospholipid pathways, enhance bacterial membrane properties that reduce antibiotic uptake and increase resistance.

Lipids from microorganisms, and especially lipids from Archaea, are used as taxonomic markers. Unfortunately, knowledge is very limited due to the uncultivability of most Archaea, which greatly reduces the importance of the diversity of lipids and their ecological role. One possible solution is to use lipidomic analysis.

This Perspective explores the transformative impact of ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry (UHR-MS), particularly Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR-MS), in the characterization of complex environmental and petroleum samples. UHR-MS has significantly advanced our ability to identify molecular formulas in complex mixtures, revolutionizing the study of biogeochemical processes and organic matter evolution on wide time scales. We start by briefly reviewing the main technological advances of UHR-MS in the context of petroleum and environmental applications, highlighting some of the challenges of the technology such as quantitation and structural identification.

Multidimensional chromatography offers enhanced chromatographic resolution and peak capacity, which are crucial for analyzing complex samples. This study presents a novel comprehensive online multidimensional chromatography method for the lipidomic analysis of biological samples, combining lipid class and lipid species separation approaches. The method combines optimized reversed-phase ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (RP-UHPLC) in the first dimension, utilizing a 150 mm long C18 column, with ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography (UHPSFC) in the second dimension, using a 10 mm long silica column, both with sub-2 μm particles.
