Abstract

Main conclusion

The method introduced here to growF. hygrometrica in high concentrations of D2O is an excellent alternative to produce highly deuterated metabolites with broad applications in metabolic studies. Our mass spectrometry experiments strongly indicate the successful incorporation of deuterium into organic compounds.

Deuterated metabolites are useful tracers for metabolic studies, yet their wide utilization in research is limited by the multi-step total synthesis required to produce them in the laboratory. Alternatively, deuterated metabolites can be obtained from organisms grown in D2O or deuterated nutrients. This approach also has limitations as D2O in high concentrations negatively affects the survival of most organisms. Here we report the mossFunaria hygrometrica as an unusual high tolerant to D2O in liquid culture. We found that this moss is able to grow in up to 90% D2O, a condition lethal for many eukaryotes. Mass spectrometric analyses ofF.hygrometrica extracts showed a strong deuteration pattern. The ability to tolerate high concentrations of D2O together with the development of a rich molecular toolbox makesF.hygrometrica an ideal system for the production of valuable deuterated metabolites.
