“…As Earth’s pervasive biology is generally accepted to be the major source of its non-living organic reservoirs [ 4 ], and it is generally accepted that these are derived from biological and abiological alteration of these materials, which has been validated experimentally [ 55 ], thermally altered biological samples were studied. Microbial samples were grown from environmental isolates according to the following methods.…”

Searching for life in the Universe depends on unambiguously distinguishing biological features from background signals, which could take the form of chemical, morphological, or spectral signatures. The discovery and direct measurement of organic compounds unambiguously indicative of extraterrestrial (ET) life is a major goal of Solar System exploration. Biology processes matter and energy differently from abiological systems, and materials produced by biological systems may become enriched in planetary environments where biology is operative. However, ET biology might be composed of different components than terrestrial life. As ET sample return is difficult, in situ methods for identifying biology will be useful. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a potentially versatile life detection technique, which will be used to analyze numerous Solar System environments in the near future. We show here that simple algorithmic analysis of MS data from abiotic synthesis (natural and synthetic), microbial cells, and thermally processed biological materials (lab-grown organisms and petroleum) easily identifies relational organic compound distributions that distinguish pristine and aged biological and abiological materials, which likely can be attributed to the types of compounds these processes produce, as well as how they are formed and decompose. To our knowledge this is the first comprehensive demonstration of the utility of this analytical technique for the detection of biology. This method is independent of the detection of particular masses or molecular species samples may contain. This suggests a general method to agnostically detect evidence of biology using MS given a sufficiently strong signal in which the majority of the material in a sample has either a biological or abiological origin. Such metrics are also likely to be useful for studies of possible emergent living phenomena, and paleobiological samples.

“…GC–EI-MS is also widely used to analyze volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (alkanes, cyclanes, isoprenanes) and relatively low-molecular-weight hetero-organic compounds separated by GC. This type of research includes, for example, popular determinations of sterane and triterpane petroleum biomarkers [ 141 ] and adamantanoid structures [ 142 ].…”

This review is devoted to the consideration of mass spectrometric platforms as applied to omics sciences. The most significant attention is paid to omics related to life sciences (genomics, proteomics, meta-bolomics, lipidomics, glycomics, plantomics, etc.). Mass spectrometric approaches to solving the problems of petroleomics, polymeromics, foodomics, humeomics, and exosomics, related to inorganic sciences, are also discussed. The review comparatively presents the advantages of various principles of separation and mass spectral techniques, complementary derivatization, used to obtain large arrays of various structural and quantitative information in the mentioned omics sciences.

“…The distribution of steranes and hopanes make it possible to determine important geochemical parameters that carry genetic information about the degree of catagenetic conversion of oils, the chemical composition of the oil-producing biomass, etc. [23]. Based on the studied relicts, various genetic correlations were carried out [24].…”

The results of investigation of molecular composition of biological markers of Eastern Georgia crude oils by methods of GLC, MS, GC/MS, genetic and geochemical aspects of their chemical composition, the main geochemical criteria for making various genetic correlations are presented. It was established that though these crude oils belong to different chemical types they all belong to a single genetic type. High concentrations of isoprenoid alkanes, ratio iC19/iC20 > 1, were revealed. In fractions higher than 420°С amongst the main biomarkers — steranes and triterpanes (C27–C33) – prevail hopanes of the 17αH-hopan series (C30H52); steranes (C27–C29) are represented by α-sterans and iso-sterans. Based on the main geochemical criteria the degree of catagenesis of oils and the probability of biodegradation of some of them was determined. In some crude oils polymethylsubstituted decalines, the relict type hydrocarbons (C14-C16) have been identified.
