Abstract
Knowledge on the structure and function of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in biofilms is essential for understanding biodegradation processes. Herein, a novel method based on multiple fluorescence labeling and two-dimensional (2D) FTIR - 13C NMR heterospectral correlation spectroscopy was developed to gain insight on the composition, architecture, and function of EPS in biofilms during composting. Compared to other environmental biofilms, biofilms in the thermophilic (> 55oC) and cooling (mature) stage of composting have distinct characteristics. The results of multiple fluorescence labeling demonstrated that biofilms were distributed in clusters during the thermophilic stage (day 14), and dead cells were detected. In the mature stage (day 26), biofilm formed a continuous layer with a thickness of approximately 20-100 µm around the compost, and re-colonization of cells at the surface of the compost was easily observed. Through 2D FTIR - 13C NMR correlation heterospectral spectroscopy, the following trend in the ease of the degradation of organic compounds was observed: heteropolysaccharides > cellulose > amide I in proteins. And proteins and cellulose showed significantly more degradation than heteropolysaccharides. In summary, the combination of multiple fluorescence labeling and 2D correlation spectroscopy is a promising approach for the characterization of EPS in biofilms.

Three-dimensional deuterium-carbon correlation experiments for high-resolution solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy of large proteins
Abstract Well-resolved 2Hâ??13C correlation spectra, reminiscent of 1Hâ??13C correlations, are obtained for perdeuterated ubiquitin and for perdeuterated outer-membrane protein G (OmpG) from E. coli by exploiting the favorable lifetime of 2H double-quantum (DQ) states. Sufficient signal-to-noise was achieved due to the short deuterium T 1, allowing for high repetition rates and enabling 3D experiments with a 2Hâ??13C transfer step in a reasonable time....

31P NMR correlation maps of 18O/16O chemical shift isotopic effects for phosphometabolite labeling studies
Abstract Intramolecular correlations among the 18O-labels of metabolic oligophosphates, mapped by J-decoupled 31P NMR 2D chemical shift correlation spectroscopy, impart stringent constraints to the 18O-isotope distributions over the whole oligophosphate moiety. The multiple deduced correlations of isotopic labels enable determination of site-specific fractional isotope enrichments and unravel the isotopologue statistics. This approach ensures accurate determination of 18O-labeling...
