Sample preparation was carried out as above for three biological replicates of each wild type, Δnog1 and ΔcitC mutants. Metabolite profiling was conducted using Ion cyclotron resonance Fourier transform Mass spectrometry (ICR-FT/MS) on a Bruker solariX equipped with a 12 T magnet (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen). Putative metabolites were annotated using the MassTRIX webserver [34 (link)]. Statistical analysis was carried out in MS Excel 2010 and Genedata Expressionist for MS 7.6 (Genedata, Martinsried) using Welch’s T test (p ≤ 0.05) [35 , 36 (link)].
