General description
Bacterial Peptidoglycan is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids, a mesh-like rigid layer that forms the cell wall. D-Amino Acids (D-AAs) are metabolically incorporated onto the bacterial cell wall by D,D-transpeptidase and/or L,D-transpeptidase. It was recently discovered that those transpeptidases catalyze the metabolic incorporation of exogenous D-AAs with almost no restriction of the side-chain identity. Modification of a D-AA with molecular fluorophores provides fluorescent d-amino acids that can efficiently label in situ peptidoglycan in diverse bacterial species. Coumarin-labeled D-lysine is a fluorescent derivative of D-lysine that is obtained by a synthetic conjugation of D-lysine to the fluorophore. Coumarin labeled D-lysine has high biocompatibility and suitability for labeling peptidoglycans in live bacteria. Additionally, it can be used in tandem with other stains such as FITC-labeled Alanine (SBR00049) to distinguish between different bacteria. Other compatible products useful for live staining include: Rhodamine B labeled Polymyxin B, FITC Labeled D-Lysine, Alanine or Vancomycin and Dansyl labeled polymyxin B (SBR00036, SBR00050, SBR00049, SBR00028, SBR00029).
Application
Fluorescent labeled D-AAs can be used for many applications including:
- Bacterial cell wall morphology
- Bacterial cell wall formation or remodeling activity
- Bacterial viability/activity
- Identify bacterial activity on surfaces or in substances
- Differentiation between various bacterial strains according to their incorporation profile of different D amino acids and sugars
Analysis Note
- Fluorescent microscopyapplication: Coumarin Labeled D-lysine has excitation/emission wavelength rangeat 360/450 nm.
- The recommended working concentrationin fluorescent microscopy imaging application is between 250µM-500 µM inworking medium
- Aliquots of the DMSO solution can bestored at -20 ⁰C, protected from light for at least one month.
