A novel GC/MS technique to assess N and C incorporation into soil amino sugars

Amino sugars have been used as biomarker to indicate microorganism contribution to soil organic matter turnover and sequestration. However, there is no direct gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (GC/MS) approach to assess microbial synthesis of amino sugars in soil. We developed a novel method which combines laboratory incubation of substrate containing ¹⁵N or ¹³C and a GC/MS technique to trace ¹⁵N or ¹³C isotope changes in three amino sugars, glucosamine, galactosamine, and muramic acid. Sample preparation followed the procedure of Zhang and Amelung (1996) [Zhang, X., Amelung, W., 1996. Gas chromatographic determination of muramic acid, glucosamine, galactosamine, and mannosamine in soils. Soil Biology and Biochemistry 28, 1201-1206.]. The GC/MS determination was conducted using a full scan mode with both electronic ionization (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) sources. The CI source was suitable for all of the three amino sugars, while the EI source was not applicable to muramic acid due to its low sensitivity in the determination as well as low concentration of muramic acid in soil. The enrichment of ¹⁵N or ¹³C in amino sugars during incubation was estimated by calculating the atom percentage excess (APE). ¹⁵N incorporation was evaluated according to fragment (F) abundance ratio of mass F+1 to F, whilst ¹³C incorporation was estimated according to the ratio of mass F+n to F (n is skeleton carbon number in the fragment). This novel method was assessed by using two soil samples (a Kandiudult and a Udoll) incubated with either ¹⁵N-amonium or U-¹³C-glucose. The results indicate that the GC/MS determination is reproducible, thus this technique is useful in detecting the microbial synthesis of amino sugars in soil, and especially it should be possible when looking at the position or how much labeled carbon and nitrogen atoms have been incorporated.     

A GC/MS method for the assessment of N and C incorporation into soil amino acid enantiomers

Identifying the transformation process of amino acid enantiomers was essential to probe into the fate, turnover and aging of soil nitrogen due to their important roles in the biogeochemical cycling. If this can be achieved by differentiating between the newly biosynthesized and the inherent compounds in soil, then the isotope tracer method can be considered most valid. We thereby developed a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method to trace the ¹⁵N or ¹³C isotope incorporation into soil amino acid enantiomers after being incubated with ¹⁵NH₄⁺ or U-¹³C-glucose substrates. The most significant fragments (F) as well as the related minor ions were monitored by the full scan mode and the isotope enrichment in amino acids was estimated by calculating the atom percentage excess (APE). ¹⁵NH₄⁺ incorporation was evaluated according to the relative abundance increase of m/z F+1 to F for neutral and acidic amino acids and F+2 to F (mass 439) for lysine. The assessment of ¹³C enrichment in soil amino acids was more complicated than that of ¹⁵N due to multi-carbon atoms in amino acid molecules. The abundance ratio increment of m/z F+n to F (n is the original skeleton carbon number in each fragment) indicated the direct conversion from the added glucose to amino acids, but the total isotope incorporation from the added ¹³C can only be calculated according to all target isotope fragments, i.e. the abundance ratio increment summation from m/z (Fa+1) through m/z (Fa+T) represented the total incorporation of the added ¹³C (Fa is the fragment containing all original skeleton carbons and T is the carbon number in the amino acid molecule). This method has a great advantage especially for the evaluation of high-abundance isotope enrichment in organic compounds compared with GC/C/IRMS. And in principle, this technique is also valid for amino acids besides enantiomers if stereoisomers are not concerned. Our assessment approach could shine a light on investigating the biochemical mechanism of microbial transformation of N and C in soils of terrestrial ecosystem.
