title: Discrimination of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria via electrospray-lonization mass spectrometry of whole cell suspensions.
abstract: Direct injection electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) without prior analyte separation was investigated for the analysis of whole cell suspensions of bacteria. Thirty-six strains of aerobic endospore-forming bacteria, consisting of six Bacillus species and one Brevibacillus species, were studied
