| Study Summary | Cyanobacteria are a model photoautotroph and a chassis for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. Yet, knowledge of photoautotrophic metabolism in the natural environment of day/night cycles is lacking yet has implications for improved yield from plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Here, a thorough approach to characterizing diverse metabolites—including carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, pigments, co-factors, nucleic acids and polysaccharides—in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (S. 6803) under sinusoidal diurnal light-dark cycles was developed and applied. A custom photobioreactor and novel multi-platform mass spectrometry workflow enabled metabolite profiling every 30-120 minutes across a 24-hour diurnal sinusoidal LD (“sinLD”) cycle peaking at 1,600 mol photons m 2 s-1. We report widespread oscillations across the sinLD cycle with 90%, 94%, and 40% of the identified polar/semi-polar, non-polar, and polymeric metabolites displaying statistically significant oscillations, respectively. Microbial growth displayed distinct lag, biomass accumulation, and cell division phases of growth. During the lag phase, amino acids (AA) and nucleic acids (NA) accumulated to high levels per cell followed by decreased levels during the biomass accumulation phase, presumably due to protein and DNA synthesis. Insoluble carbohydrates displayed sharp oscillations per cell at the day-to-night transition. Potential bottlenecks in central carbon metabolism are highlighted. Together, this report provides a comprehensive view of photosynthetic metabolite behavior with high temporal resolution, offering insight into the impact of growth synchronization to light cycles via circadian rhythms. Incorporation into computational modeling and metabolic engineering efforts promises to improve industrially-relevant strain design. |

| Collection ID: | CO001259 |
| Collection Summary: | For each metabolomics time-point, a 10 mL culture were rapidly sampled via sterile on-reactor syringes into a pre-weighed centrifuge tube, quenched in -4°C 1X PBS, spun at 3,000g for 5 min., decanted, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and lyophilized at -50°C. The workflow from sampling to centrifugation took < 2 minutes; lyophilized samples were stored at -80°C for < 1 month prior to extraction. A biphasic extraction from lyophilized cell pellets was performed via a 2:1:1.6 MTBE:MeOH:H2O biphasic extraction, modified from the protocol developed by Salem et al. (Salem et al., 2016) resulting in a top layer of MTBE with non-polar soluble metabolites, a lower layer of MeOH:H2O with polar and semi-polar soluble metabolites, and an insoluble pellet. Each liquid layer was transferred to a fresh glass vial and dried under nitrogen gas overnight. The MTBE layer was resuspended in 1:1 toluene:MeOH and analyzed via Q-TOF-MS with a UPLC Phenyl Hexyl column (“RP-MS”). The MeOH:H2O layer was resuspended in 1:1 H2O:MeOH, split evenly and subjected to either i) derivatization in methoxyamine HCl and MSTFA followed by GC-MS analysis, or ii) targeted SRM analysis on a tandem quadrupole-MS equipped with a HILIC column. The insoluble pellet was hydrolyzed with a hydrochloric acid (HCl) based on previously published protocols (Fountoulakis and Lahm, 1998) (Huang, Kaiser and Benner, 2012) to analyze individual amino acids, nucleoside, and carbohydrate content of the insoluble polymers utilizing MTBSTFA derivatization for insoluble amino acids. Of the soluble phases, 10 µL were removed from each sample and pooled to create a QC sample, mixed, and aliquoted into thirteen vials. A QC sample was run after every sixth injection. |
