A method based on phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis for profiling microbial communities in offshore produced water was optimized. The operation parameters affecting final PLFA profiling performance from the solid phase extraction (SPE) purification and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) yielding process were investigated. Under the selected conditions, 92.9%, 96.3% and 92.8% of the spiked phospholipid standards C16:1 (cis-9) PC, C18:1 (cis-9) PC, and C19:0 PC were recovered, respectively, using 10mL methanol as elution solvent on a non-commercial SPE column. Over 90% of spiked C19:0 PC was recovered before sample transesterification. Four parameters including alkaline reagent, volume of acid for neutralization, time and temperature for FAMEs derivatization were examined. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze FAMEs and the method linearities, recoveries of 29 FAMEs during transesterification, detection limits, relative standard deviations were presented. The results provided valuable information for biological reservoir souring control.
