Abstract

A rapid reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry based mycobacterial lipidomics approach is described. This method enables the separation of various lipid classes including lipids specific to mycobacterial, such as methoxy mycolic acid and α-mycolic acid. Lipid separation occurs during a relatively short runtime of 14 min on a charged surface hybrid C18 column. A high-resolution quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer and a data independent acquisition mode allowed for the simultaneous acquisition of the full scan and collision induced dissociation fragmentation. The proposed method provides lipid detection results equivalent to or better than existing methods, but with a faster throughput and an overall higher sensitivity. The reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry method was shown to obtain structural information for lipids extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis, but the method is applicable to the analysis of lipids from various bacterial and mammalian cell lines.
