PAH quantification standard consisted of 19 parent PAHs including the 16 US EPA PAHs and benzo(e)pyrene, perylene, and dibenzothiophene. 2-methylphenanthrene, 3,6-dimethylphenanthrene, 1,2,6-trimethylphenanthrene, and 1,2,6,9-tetramethylphenanthrene were used to quantify alkylated phenanthrenes. For a full list of PAHs used for quantification and the corresponding deuterated internal standards see Table A.1 (supplementary data). All PAHs and deuterated PAHs were acquired from CIL (Cambridge, UK, purity >97%). From the mixture of unlabeled PAHs, seven calibration solutions were prepared in isooctane (pro analysis grade, Merck) in the concentration range 3-300 ng/mL. The mixture of deuterated internal standards was prepared in isooctane and had a concentration of each compound of 300 ng/mL. The PAH quantification standard and deuterated internal standard mixture were further diluted 20 times in ethyl acetate (>99.7%, Sigma-Aldrich) before addition of 200 μL to each of the 4 mL extracts. The final internal standard concentration was 0.75 ng/mL.

The lipids extracted from LM were methylated according to the method by Lepage and Roy (1986) (link) and the fatty acid composition was analyzed using gas chromatography. Approximately 200 μL of each lipid extract were converted into fatty acid methyl esters by adding 2 mL methanol:benzene (4:1, vol:vol) solution and 200 μL of acetyl chloride, and heated for 40 min at 100°C on a heating block (Lab & Tools, Anyang, Korea). One mL isooctane (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and 8 mL of 6% potassium carbonate (Junsei, Tokyo, Japan) were added, and the solution was centrifuged (1580R, Labogene, Daejeon, Korea) for 10 min at 500×g. One (1) μL of the supernatant was subjected to analysis with a gas chromatography (Clarus 500; Perkin Elmer, Shelton, CT, USA) equipped with a fused column SP 2560 (100 m in length, 0.25 mm in diameter, 0.2 um film thickness) using nitrogen as the carrier gas (flow rate of 1.0 mL/min). The initial oven temperature was 210°C; the injector and detector temperatures were 240°C and 250°C, respectively.

At 48 hpi, infected cells were pelleted and resuspended in perchloric acid (Sigma-Aldrich) (10% wt/vol) solution containing 1 mM diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (Sigma-Aldrich) for cell lysis, followed by 4°C centrifugation at 1,500 rpm. Tryptophan concentrations were measured in supernatants using high-performance liquid chromatography-linked tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) with the EZ-FAAST aa derivatization kit (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) as previously described (70 (link)). Briefly, supernatants containing tryptophan were mixed with an internal standard (tyrosine 3,3-D2), and pellets were mixed with a strong cation exchange resin (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA). Derivatization was performed using the manufacturer’s protocols. Derivative products were extracted with isooctane (Sigma-Aldrich), dried under nitrogen, and reconstituted with a mobile phase. Analytes were quantified based on purified standard compounds. Data were normalized against Ct 16S rRNA gene transcription levels.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
