Abstract
Mass spectrometry analysis of the lipid extracts of saltern biomass represents a powerful tool to quickly obtain information on the presence of various archaeal and bacterial microorganisms in saltern ponds. In the last years, ESI-MS lipid profiling by a shotgun lipidomic approach has allowed the discovery of new lipid molecules in the membranes of archaeal and bacterial halophilic microorganisms. The recent introduction of the MALDI-TOF/MS technique in lipid analysis offers further possibilities of implementing the knowledge of lipid biology of halophilic prokaryotes. In this chapter, the structures and functional role of new lipids of extreme halophilic Archaea and Bacteria are illustrated in relation to adaptation to osmotic stress.
