CL = cardiolipin and MLCL = monolysocardiolipin, FA = fatty acid. [a] Bolded species were identified with tandem MS experiments (CID and/or CID/CID) in addition to high mass resolution/high mass accuracy, all other species were identified by high mass resolution/high mass accuracy. [b] Lipid (X:Y) notation indicates the total number of carbons (X) and double bonds (Y) in the fatty acid chains. [c] Mass error was calculated with the exact monoisotopic m/z of the doubly deprotonated form of the assigned molecular formula.
