Abstract
A new methodology for examining the interactions of microbes with heterogeneous minerals is presented. Imaging laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry was used to examine the colonization patterns of Burkholderia vietnamiensis G4 (previously Burkholderia cepacia G4) on a heterogeneous basalt sample. Depth-profile imaging found that the bacterium preferentially colonized the plagioclase mineral phase within the basalt.
