"STUDY":{"STUDY_TITLE":"Lipidomics analysis of outer membrane vesicles and elucidation of the ceramide phosphoinositol biosynthetic pathway in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron","STUDY_SUMMARY":"In this work, we characterized the lipid composition of membranes and OMV from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482. LC-MS analysis indicate that OMV carry sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids and serine-dipeptide lipids. Sphingolipid species represent more than 50% of the total lipid content of OMV. The most abundant sphingolipids in OMV are ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CerPE) and ceramide phosphoinositol (CerPI). Bioinformatic analysis allowed the identification of the BT1522-1526 operon putatively involved in CerPI synthesis. Mutagenesis studies revealed BT1522-1526 are essential for synthesis of PI and CerPI, confirming the role of this operon in biosynthesis of CerPI. BT1522-1526 mutant strains lacking CerPI produced OMV that were indistinguishable from the wild-type strain, indicating that CerPI sphingolipid species are not involved in OMV biogenesis. Bacteroides sphingolipids are thought to modulate host-commensal interactions, and based on our data, we propose that OMV could act as long distance delivery vehicles for these molecules.","INSTITUTE":"Washington University, St. Louis","DEPARTMENT":"Molecular Microbiology","LABORATORY":"Feldman lab","LAST_NAME":"Sartorio","FIRST_NAME":"Mariana","ADDRESS":"660 S Euclid avenue, campus box 8230, 63110","EMAIL":"mgsartorio@wustl.edu","STUDY_TYPE":"Lipidic profile in wild-type and mutant strains","PHONE":"3147474477"},

"COLLECTION":{"COLLECTION_SUMMARY":"B. thetaiotaomicron strains (wild-type and ΔBT1522-BT1526 mutants) were grown overnight in an anaerobic chamber (Coy Laboratories) using an atmosphere of 10% H2, 5% CO2, 85% N2. For liquid growth, Brain heart infusion (BHI) supplemented with hemin and vitamin K3 was used. Cultures were then subjected to subcellular fractionation to obtain total membranes and outer membrane vesicles (OMV) preparation. OMV preparations: OMV were purified by ultracentrifugation of filtered spent media from 150 ml of liquid culture as described previously (1). OMV preparations were resuspended in PBS before lipid analyses. Protein content was quantified using a DC protein assay kit (Bio-Rad). Fractions were aliquoted and stored at -80°C until analyzed. Membrane preparations: Total membrane preparations were performed by cell lysis and ultracentrifugation as previously described (1). Total membranes from 150 ml of liquid culture were resuspended in PBS using a 2-ml glass tissue grinder with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pestle (VWR). Protein content was quantified using a DC protein assay kit (Bio-Rad). Fractions were stored aliquoted and stored at -80°C until analyzed. References: 1. Elhenawy W, Debelyy MO, Feldman MF.

"SAMPLEPREP":{"SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY":"Total lipids from OMV and TM were extracted based on the Bligh and Dyer chloroform:methanol method (1). Briefly, 2 volumes of methanol, 1 volume of chloroform, and 0.8 volumes of Milli-Q water were added to 1 volume of PBS-resuspended OMV or TM fractions into solvent-resistant glass tubes. Contents were mixed for 1 min by vortexing and 1 volume of chloroform was added to the mixture. Contents were mixed for another minute and tubes were centrifuged for 5 min at 4000 rpm. After centrifugation, bottom phase (organic) was recovered using a glass Pasteur pipette and stored in solvent-sealed vials at -80°C until lipid analysis by LC-MS. References: 1. Bligh EG, Dyer WJ.
