LID - 10.1126/sciadv.abb2531 [doi] LID - eabb2531 AB - Current techniques for studying gut microbiota are unable to answer some important microbiology questions, like how different bacteria grow and divide in the gut. We propose a method that integrates the use of sequential d-amino acid-based in vivo metabolic labeling with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), for characterizing the growth and division patterns of gut bacteria. After sequentially administering two d-amino acid-based probes containing different fluorophores to mice by gavage, the resulting dual-labeled peptidoglycans provide temporal information on cell wall synthesis of gut bacteria. Following taxonomic identification with FISH probes, the growth and division patterns of the corresponding bacterial taxa, including species that cannot be cultured separately in vitro, are revealed. Our method offers a facile yet powerful tool for investigating the in vivo growth dynamics of the bacterial gut microbiota, which will advance our understanding of bacterial cytology and facilitate elucidation of the basic microbiology of this gut "dark matter."
