Schematic representation of the tandem MS-spectrum of the signal at m/z 577.3. a: Spectrum of the signal obtained from the Se0-nanoparticle samples isolated from cultures of R. rubrum: Red bars. Comparison with the spectrum of the reference PPIX-O-CH3: Green bars. The bond cleavage(s) corresponding to the fragment loss(es) are indicated in parentheses on top of each bar representing molecular ions obtained in the MS/MS-spectra of both MS-signals at m/z 577.3. b: Structure of PPIX-O-CH3 with indication of bond cleavage locations
