A method to enable CSIA of nitrogen of selected IPLs has been developed. The method is suitable for measuring natural stable nitrogen isotope ratios in microbial lipids, in particular phosphatidylethanolamine, and will be especially useful for tracing the fate of nitrogen in deliberate tracer experiments.
