title: Ion mobility mass spectrometry enables the efficient detection and identification of halogenated natural products from cyanobacteria with minimal sample preparation.
abstract: Direct observation of halogenated natural products produced by different strains of marine cyanobacteria was accomplished by electrospray ionization and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization and gas phase separation via ion mobility mass spectrometry of extracts as well as intact organisms.
