Whole cells and cell fractions
ATR-FTIR bands (cm⁻¹) 3600 – 3000 (O-H and N-H stretching), 3000 – 2600 (CH2 and CH3 asymmetric and symmetric stretching), 1454 and 1398 (bending vibrations), 1648 (C=O stretching, amide I), 1600 – 1500 (N-H bending and C-N stretching, amide II), 1350 – 1250 (N-H bending and C-N stretching, amide III), 1208 (C-O stretching), 1050 (C-O-C stretching), 1100 – 900 (C-O-H bending vibrations), 900 – 1200 (phosphate stretching vibrations), around 949 or higher (asymmetric P-O-P stretching), 900 – 1300 (P-O bands), 1250 – 900 (polysaccharidic compounds, carbohydrates, and stretching vibration of the nucleic acid backbone), around 2924 – 2854 and 1454 – 1398 (lipid components), 1240 and 1080 (symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrational modes of phosphodiester groups), 1040 (polysaccharides vibrational modes)
ATR-FTIR, Osi-resistant compared with parental whole cells significant intensity increase in ester-related vibrations at ~1736–1720 cm⁻¹
ATR-FTIR protein bands were detectable in all samples except the LMW fraction, where their contribution was negligible; protein bands were the dominant absorptions in whole-cell and pellet fractions
ATR-FTIR PCA, whole cells PC1 83.6 %; PC2 8.7 %; parental cells were predominantly positioned toward the negative end of PC1 and PC2, while OsiR and ORH cells were grouped toward the positive end
Main, pp. 2, 7–9
HMW and LMW fractions
ATR-FTIR bands (cm⁻¹) ~1450, 1410, 1330, 1238, 1210, 1110, 1040, 994, 924, and 850
ATR-FTIR PCA score plots clear separation of P and OsiR cells within each fraction
Main, pp. 8–9
Pellet fractions
ATR-FTIR bands (cm⁻¹) 964 (detectable only in pellet fractions; may reflect C-C backbone vibrations of ultra-short DNA fragments undergoing A-to-B conformational transitions)
ATR-FTIR PCA score plots clear separation of P and OsiR cells
