Abstract
The use of detergents when culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) are essential to prevent clumping. However, these detergents may influence research outcomes by impacting bacterial morphology and metabolism. This study aimed to assess the metabolome of a M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain cultured with Tyloxapol (H37RvTyloxapol), compared to a control group of H37Rv strain cultured without detergent (H37RvControl) to evaluate Tyloxapol's suitability for metabolomic studies. Distinct metabolic alterations were observed in H37RvTyloxapol compared to H37RvControl, primarily associated with fatty acid, sugar and pentose phosphate metabolic pathways. These changes are associated with the surface stress exerted by Tyloxapol on the bacteria, prompting an adaptation of M. tuberculosis metabolism to that usually observed in stress environments. Nevertheless, the effect of Tyloxapol is less pronounced than that of a previous investigation using Tween 80, indicating its potential as the more favourable choice for culturing M. tuberculosis for metabolomic analysis, with due consideration to dosage and result interpretation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes scholarly and original articles, notes and review articles. These articles must include novel and/or state-of-the-art methods, or significant improvements to existing methods. Novel and innovative applications of current methods that are validated and useful will also be published. JMM strives for scholarship, innovation and excellence. This demands scientific rigour, the best available methods and technologies, correctly replicated experiments/tests, the inclusion of proper controls, calibrations, and the correct statistical analysis. The presentation of the data must support the interpretation of the method/approach.
All aspects of microbiology are covered, except virology. These include agricultural microbiology, applied and environmental microbiology, bioassays, bioinformatics, biotechnology, biochemical microbiology, clinical microbiology, diagnostics, food monitoring and quality control microbiology, microbial genetics and genomics, geomicrobiology, microbiome methods regardless of habitat, high through-put sequencing methods and analysis, microbial pathogenesis and host responses, metabolomics, metagenomics, metaproteomics, microbial ecology and diversity, microbial physiology, microbial ultra-structure, microscopic and imaging methods, molecular microbiology, mycology, novel mathematical microbiology and modelling, parasitology, plant-microbe interactions, protein markers/profiles, proteomics, pyrosequencing, public health microbiology, radioisotopes applied to microbiology, robotics applied to microbiological methods,rumen microbiology, microbiological methods for space missions and extreme environments, sampling methods and samplers, soil and sediment microbiology, transcriptomics, veterinary microbiology, sero-diagnostics and typing/identification.
