The meiofaunal size fraction was mechanically separated from the sand and concentrated by decanting five times with filtered tap water through a 45 μm filter. Subsequent separation from fine silt was achieved by repetitive centrifugation in 1.16 specific gravity LUDOX-TM solution48 . Following centrifugation, each sample was retained on a distinct mesh sieve, which was then folded, sliced and placed in a 15 ml falcon tube and kept at −80 °C until DNA extraction. Samples were lysed overnight at 55 °C in lysis buffer (100 mM Tris–HCl, pH7.5; 100 mM NaCl; 100 mM EDTA; 1% SDS, 500 μg ml−1 proteinase K), assisted by spinning wheel mixing, and DNA extracted with the QIAamp DNA Blood Maxi Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's protocol.

Long RNA oligonucleotides were transcribed in vitro from synthetic ssDNA templates (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equimolar amounts of ssDNA template and a universal T7 promoter sequence were annealed. One microgram annealed template was then used in a 100 μl transcription reaction containing 5 mM each rNTP, 22 mM magnesium chloride, 40 mM Tris–HCl pH 8.0, 2 mM spermidine, 10 mM DTT, 0.01% Triton X-100, 40 units RNase inhibitor (New England Biolabs) and 5 μl T7 RNA polymerase. Transcription reactions were incubated at 37°C for 2 h.
All RNA was gel purified by denaturing gel electrophoresis. Appropriate bands were excised and RNA was extracted by crush soak in 10 mM MOPS pH 6.0, 300 mM sodium chloride, and 1 mM disodium-EDTA. After extraction, RNA was ethanol precipitated, washed once with 70% ethanol and resuspended in water.
For the 10-NP screen, the five additional assay conditions evaluated were identical to those described above, with one of the following exceptions. First, a low concentration of NPs was evaluated that was 50% the original concentration (ranging from 2.5–15 mg/ml for each NP, depending on expected peptide yield). For the second and third assay variations, both low and high NP concentrations were run using an undiluted, neat plasma rather than diluting the plasma in buffer. For the fourth and fifth assay variations, both low and high NP concentrations were run using a pH 5 citrate buffer for both dilution and rinse.
To digest the proteins bound onto NPs, a trypsin digestion kit (iST 96×, PreOmics, Germany) was used according to protocols provided. Briefly, 50 µL of Lyse buffer was added to each well and heated at 95 °C for 10 min with agitation. After cooling the plates to room temperature, trypsin digestion buffer was added, and the plate incubated at 37 °C for 3 h with shaking. The digestion process was stopped with a stop buffer. The supernatant was separated from the NPs by a magnetic collector and further cleaned up by a peptide cleanup cartridge included in the kit. The peptide was eluted with 75 µL of elution buffer twice and combined. Peptide concentration was measured by a quantitative colorimetric peptide assay kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA).

containing 10% glycerol at a density of 1-2×106 sperm/mL. Then, they were immediately mixed with 0.4 mL of the solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.15 M NaCl,
and 0.08 N HCl (pH 1.2) at 4 °C. After 30 seconds, they were incubated in 1.2 mL of AO at a 6 μg/mL concentration in a solution containing 0.037 M citric acid, 0.126 M Na2HPO4,
0.001 M disodium EDTA, and 0.15 M NaCl (pH 6.0) at 4 °C. These were analyzed using the FACSCaliburTM flow cytometer. Strong green (FL-1)
and negative red fluorescence (FL-2) depicted normal sperm integrity (excitation wavelength at 488 nm and emission wavelengths at 520 nm for FL1 and 640 nm for FL3).
A sample of acid-treated sperm was used as a positive control. DNAf index (DFI) was calculated using the formula below and expressed as a percentage.
DFI=Mean value of red fluorescence/(mean value of red+green fluorescence).
AO shows green fluorescence in the monomeric state (when it binds to DNA) and red fluorescence in the polymeric state (when it binds to RNA or denatured single-stranded DNA). Larger cells with higher histone and lower protamine content are found in the upper quartile of the dot blot chart. These cell populations show high DNA stainability (HDS) and represent immature cells. 17 (link)
