ABSTRACT
For the first time, synchrotron radiation (SR) -based carbon K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy in-situ characterization was conducted to evaluate the evolution of superficial (about 10 nm) organic components of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of thermoacidophilic archaeon Acidianus manzaensis YN-25 acclimated with different energy substrates (FeS2, CuFeS2, S0, FeSO4). The atomic force microscopy (AFM) morphology scanning showed that the strain acclimated with different energy substrates varied a lot in EPS amount. XANES results showed clear associations between the energy substrates and the changes in organic composition in terms of typical function groups (CO, CO and CN). The chalcopyrite- and pyrite-acclimated cells contained higher proportion of proteins but less proportion of polysaccharides than the S0-acclimated cells. The FeSO4-acclimated cells contained the highest proportion of proteins, while the S0-acclimated cells contained more lipids and polysaccharides. The results of linear-combination and peak fitting of the K-edge XANES for the extracellular superficial organic component C is consistent with the trend in comparison with the results of FTIR and spectrophotometric determination, but there are significant differences in the values. These differences are caused by the inconsistencies of measurement depth between XANES and the latter two characterization methods.
