Figure 4

GC/LC-MS analysis of metabolites (A) and HPTLC analysis of lipids (B,C) from MAPwt and MAPΔmptD. (A) The heat map illustrates the significant concentration changes (overall results of three biological replicates). The color intensity and tones represent magnitude and direction of metabolic changes, respectively, with the magnitude of change ranging from white (reference) to red (positive deviation to reference) or blue (negative deviation to reference). (B,C) HPTLC analysis of polarity-fractionated lipids. Mobile phase in (B) chloroform/methanol 18:2 (v/v); in (C) chloroform/methanol/water 65:25:4 (v/v/v). Lane 1: crude lipids from MAPΔmptD; lanes 2, 4, 6 and 8: fractions of MAPwt; lanes 3, 5, 7, and 9: fractions of MAPΔmptD; lanes 2 and 3: chloroform fraction; lanes 4 and 5: acetone fraction; lanes 6 and 7: methanol fraction; lanes 8 and 9: chloroform/methanol 1:1 (v/v) column wash; lane 10: TDM standard; Lane 11: PIM standard (see text) yellow arrows = additional bands; yellow boxes = same bands with different intensities.
