摘要
Marine endosymbiotic heterocystous cyanobacteria make unique heterocyst glycolipids (HGs) containing pentose (C-5) moieties. Functionally similar HGs with hexose (C-6) moieties found in free-living cyanobacteria occur in the sedimentary record, but C-5 HGs have not been documented in the natural environment. Here we developed a high performance liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS2) method specific for trace analysis of long chain C-5 HGs and applied it to cultures of Rhizosolenia clevei Ostenfeld and its symbiont Richelia intracellularis which were found to contain C-5 HGs and no C-6 HGs. The method was then applied to suspended particulate matter (SPM) and surface sediment from the Amazon plume region known to harbor marine diatoms carrying heterocystous cyanobacteria as endosymbionts. C-5 HGs were detected in both marine SPM and surface sediments, but not in SPM or surface sediment from freshwater settings in the Amazon basin. Rather, the latter contained C-6 HGs, established biomarkers for free-living heterocystous cyanobacteria. Our results indicate that the C-5 HGs may be potential biomarkers for marine endosymbiotic heterocystous cyanobacteria. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
