a

The Mr is the calculated molecular weight of the proposed structure; italicized values indicate less certainty in assignments.

b

p is the predicted value for singly charged MS ions.

c

P, unsubstituted monophosphate.

d

di-P, unsubstituted diphosphate; at the 1 position.

e

P-pEtN, diphosphoethanolamine; at either the 1 or the 4′ position but likely at the 1 position when l-Ara4N is present.

f

P-l-Ara4N, phospho-l-Ara4N.

g

C16:0, palmitate addition mediated by pagP.

h

OH, in 2-hydroxymyristate mediated by lpxO.
