Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP001514
Sampleprep Summary:	For global profiling of stool metabolites, samples were randomized then processed according to our in-house protocol. Briefly, lyophilized stool sample (80 mg) was ultrasonicated with 1 mL of ice-cold extraction solvent (methanol:water [8:2]) containing 1 µg/mL d27-myristic acid as an internal standard at 4°C in a bath ultrasonicator (Elma Transsonic 460, Germany) for 30 min, and vortex-mixed for 2 min. The samples were then centrifuged at 18,000 g for 20 min at 4°C, and 0.5 mL of the supernatant was extracted carefully followed by drying at 50°C under a gentle stream of nitrogen gas (Turbovap LV, Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, MA, USA). 100 µL of toluene (kept anhydrous with sodium sulfate) was added to the dry residue and evaporated completely again at 50°C under nitrogen gas to remove traces of water. The dried metabolic extract was then oximated with 50 µL of MOX (20 mg/mL) at 60°C for 2 h. Following centrifugation, 100 µL of MSTFA with 1% TMCS was added and the mixture was incubated at 60°C for 45 min to form trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives. Finally, 100 µL of the TMS derivatives was transferred into a GC vial and subjected to gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS) analysis. 50 µL of each stool extract prepared during extraction of lyophilized stool were also pooled to prepare quality control (QC) samples.
