Study TitleInvestigation of age-dependent changes in the gut of honeybee workers using targeted metabolomics for SCFA determination
Study SummaryTo determine changes in the metabolic activity of the gut microbiota, we measured the concentrations of seven short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactate. All SCFA showed low concentrations in newly emerged workers. We found that acetate, propionate and butyrate are the main SCFA in the honeybee gut and peak in 5-day old and in-hive workers. Lactate showed an inverse trend with highest concentrations in 1-day old workers and a significant decrease on all subsequent days (Kruskal Wallis test, p <0.05).

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP003688
Sampleprep Summary:In brief, x mg pool gut was mixed with five times the volume (in µL) of acetonitrile (ACN):Water (1:1, v/v) and homogenized using a TissueLyser II (30 Hz, 10 min; Retsch Qiagen). After centrifugation (2 min, 14000 rpm) 40 µl were used for further derivatization of short chain fatty acids. Each sample was mixed with ACN to a final concentration of 50 %. SCFAs were derivatized with 200 mM 3-nitrophenylhydrazine and 120 mM N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride in pyridine and then diluted in 10 % ACN.
