Abstract
    Previous studies have shown that heterocyst glycolipids (HGs) are unique markers for N2-fixing heterocystous cyanobacteria. In this study, the HGs of a marine pelagic Calothrix sp. CCY1611 isolated from the tropical western North Atlantic were analyzed by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry and it was shown that this organism contains an unusual C28 triol HG with a methylated C6 sugar (methyl-HG28 triol) head group. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the sugar released from the novel HG by acid methanolysis revealed that the sugar is likely 6-O-methyl-β-d-glucopyranose. We propose that this methyl-HG28 triol is a potential biomarker for pelagic members of the genus Calothrix.
