Stable Isotope Labeling of Entire Bacillus atrophaeus Spores and Vegetative Cells Using Bioaerosol Mass Spectrometry

Abstract: Single vegetative cells and spores of Bacillus atrophaeus, formerly Bacillus subtilis var. niger, were analyzed using bioaerosol mass spectrometry. Key biomarkers were identified from organisms grown in 13C and 15N isotopically enriched media. Spore spectra contain peaks from dicipolinate and amino acids. The results indicate that compounds observed in the spectra correspond to material from the spore's core and not the exosporium. Standard compounds and mixtures were analyzed for comparison. The biomarkers fo… Show more

“…Figure 4 shows average mass spectra collected at several different laser energies. The general appearance of the spectra is similar to those shown in previous papers 13,30,31 where most of the peaks have been identified. The prominence of the potassium peak at m/z=39 in the present spectra may be related in part to the fact that it is the only element likely to be encountered with an ionization potential less than the energy of a single 266nm photon (4.34 eV versus 4.66 eV respectively).…”

“…It has the ability to distinguish Bacillus spores from vegetative cells on a particle by particle basis using ion peaks under m/z 300 [4], and has demonstrated preliminary species level differentiation of individual Bacillus spores using low mass biomarker peaks [5,6]. In spite of this success, the production, detection, and identification of higher-mass taxonomical biomarker peaks is strongly desired because it would enable more robust differentiation of a broader range of bacterial species.…”
