An innovative method was developed for rapid sensitive detection and efficient structural characterization of lipopeptide biosurfactants by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry by using whole microbial cells and crude culture filtrates as targets in combination with surface tension measurements. This was done for a bacterial strain that was isolated from petroleum sludge and efficiently produces biosurfactants. This organism was identified by using biochemical, physiological, and genetic parameters as a Bacillus subtilis strain, designated B. subtilis C-1. This assignment was supported by a mass spectrometric investigation of the secondary metabolite spectrum determined by whole-cell MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, which revealed three lipopeptide complexes, the surfactins, the iturins, and the fengycins, which are well-known biosurfactants produced by B. subtilis strains. These compounds were structurally characterized by in situ structure analysis by using postsource decay MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The isoforms were separated by miniaturized high-resolution reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for mass spectrometric characterization. Iturin compounds which contain unusual fatty acid components were detected.
