Restoration of deuterium marker for multi-isotope mapping of cellular metabolic activity
2026
Overview
Investigation of cellular metabolic activity with stable-isotope probing (SIP) implies the admittance of an isotope tracer into the metabolic pathway. Incubation with several isotope-markers (multi-isotope tracing) is required to trace nutrient metabolization and elucidate inter-cellular interactions in complex hosts and environmental communities. To cope with the lability of cell nutrition, deuterium in heavy

O water is employed as a substrate-independent general tracer of metabolic activity. However, the spatially-resolved deuterium tracing is hampered by detection limits due to its relatively low ionization yield and mass-interference issues. In the present work, we comprehensively assess the quantitation of deuterium incorporation into biomass employing the outstanding capabilities of nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry facilitating quantitative analysis of metabolic activity with single-cell or subcellular resolution. The effect of ion-probe-induced material relocation on the acquired pattern in
