The 100 μl assay solution containing 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 pmol CmFUM, and 1 M disodium fumarate was incubated at 52°C for 24 h. Thereafter, HCl was added to the assay solution to be 100 mM. The sample is analyzed by HPLC using an LC-2000Plus System (JASCO, Tokyo, Japan). Organic acids were quantified using 0.2 mM bromothymol blue in 15 mM sodium phosphate buffer and peaks were detected at 445 nm, as described previously (Osanai et al., 2015 (link)).
