Table 1.

Elemental ratios and compound classification characteristics of masses detected in extracted tDOM source using FT-ICR MS.

Classification H:C range O:C range No. of m/z % of Total
Lipid-like 1.5 to 2.0 0.0 to 0.3 494 9.2
Protein-like 1.5 to 2.2 0.3 to 0.67 673 12.6
Lignin-like 0.7 to 1.5 0.1 to 0.67 3049 57.1
Carbohydrate-like 1.5 to 2.4 0.67 to 1.2 143 2.7
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon-like 0.7 to 1.5 0.0 to 0.1 242 4.5
Condensed Aromatics 0.2 to 0.7 0.0 to 0.67 63 1.2
Other/unidentified 679 12.7

Molecular formulas were assigned to 96% (5343 m/z) of the 5543 m/zs detected. Data represent the classification, range of H:C and O:C molar ratios, the number of m/zs per classification, and proportion of total m/zs detected in positive ionization mode using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Classifications described in more detail in Hockaday et al. (2009).
