      (*Institute of Nutritional Science, and Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Biosystems, Land Use and Nutrition, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Giessen, Germany; gertrud.morlock@uni-giessen.de)

      Molecules, 26 (24), 7683 (2021). Samples were ultrasound-assisted extracts of fruit puree and juice (pre-treated with sulfur dioxide or ascorbic acid) of Ananas comosus (Bromeliaceae) and Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae). HPTLC on silica gel with toluene – ethyl acetate – methanol – formic acid 120:90:35:3. Detection under white light, UV 254 nm and 366 nm, before and after  derivatization by immersion (2 s, 3 cm/s) into anisaldehyde sulfuric acid reagent and  diphenylamine aniline reagent, followed by heating at 110 °C for 5 min. Effect-directed analysis using automated immersion: A) for free radical (DPPH•) scavengers; B) for enzymatic inhibition (acetyl-cholinesterase, tyrosinase); C) for activity against Gram-negative (Aliivibrio fischeri bioluminescence assay) or Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis bioassay). Active compounds were far more present in puree than in juice extracts, and differences were also seen between cultivars. Ascorbic acid (hRF 37), used as additive for the mango puree, was active as antioxidant and as transiently disruptive for A. fischeri metabolism and bioluminescence.

      Imaging high-performance thin-layer chromatography as powerful tool to visualize metabolite profiles of eight Bacillus candidates upon cultivation and growth behavior
      S. KRUSE, F. PIERRE, Gertrud E. MORLOCK* (*Institute of Nutritional Science, and Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Biosystems, Land Use and Nutrition, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Giessen, Germany; gertrud.morlock@uni-giessen.de)

      J Chromatogr A, 1640, 461929 (2021). Study of the impact of different strains, culture media and parameters (temperature, time, rotational speed, and glucide and amino-acid supply) on the metabolite profile of bacteria. Samples were cultivation broths of Bacillus subtilis, B. licheniformis, B. pumilus and B. amyloliquefaciens, as well as their respective supernatant liquid-liquid extracts (apolar solvents only or QuEChERS method with acetonitrile and MgSO4 – NaCl mixture 4:1). HPTLC on silica gel (normal phase and RP-18), either as bands (for small volumes of extracts) or as areas for supernatants and bigger volumes of extracts. Extract areas were focused with a three-step procedure (up to 20mm with acetone, and twice with methanol); unextracted supernatants were focused twice with methanol and once with tetrahydrofuran, but the application zone of the plate had to be cut before development, due to the high matrix load. Development with ethyl acetate – methanol – water at different ratios after activation of the plate surface with magnesium chloride (33% relative humidity), evaluation in white light and UV. Detection of antibacterial compounds with Aliivibrio fischeri bioassay. Derivatization with primuline (for lipophilic substances) and diphenylamine aniline sulfuric acid reagent (for saccharides). This method allowed a fast comparison: A) of the patterns of the different strains (presence /absence and intensity of detected or antibacterial bands); B) of cultivation parameters: the number of metabolites increased with time, rotational speed (oxygen level), and at 37°C (vs. 30°C), whereas a minimal medium allowed the detection of more metabolites, due to the lower matrix load; C) of the impact of the extraction parameters: choice of the solvents (QuEChERS method had no advantage here), solvent – supernatant ratio (1:3 showed richer patterns than 1:1); D) of the HPTLC parameters used (better separation and resolution with normal phase vs. RP18 layers).
