Popis: Whole cells of Bifidobacterium lactis were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS). Characteristic and reproducible mass spectra were obtained in the mass range from 6 to 19 kDa. After several days of bacterial cell storage at 4 °C (D0, D2, and D6), only minor signal differences were observed. Under identical and reproducible conditions, fourteen relevant diagnostic ions were identified. Moreover, control- and stress-related fingerprints were rapidly obtained using MALDI-TOFMS by comparison of protein patterns obtained from non-stressed (control) versus stressed cells (addition of bile salts during growth). After quantitative validation of the MALDI-MS data by a statistical approach, two and eight signals were assigned as control- and stress-specific ions, respectively. This work provides the evidence that MALDI-TOFMS can be used for the identification of stress-related fingerprint of B. lactis bacterial cells and could have a high potential for the assessment of the physiological status of the cells.
