Under aerobic conditions, Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) primarily metabolizes glucose to acetic acid. Although normally S. aureus is able to re-utilize acetate as a carbon source following glucose exhaustion, significantly high levels of acetate in the culture media may not only be growth inhibitory but also potentiates cell death in stationary phase cultures by a mechanism dependent on cytoplasmic acidification. One consequence of acetic acid toxicity is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present protocol describes the detection of ROS in S. aureus undergoing cell death by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Using 1-hydroxy-3-methoxycarbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (CMH) as a cell permeable spin probe, we demonstrate the detection of various oxygen radicals generated by bacteria. Although standardized for S. aureus , the methods described here should be easily adapted for other bacterial species. This protocol is adapted from Thomas et al. (2014) and Thomas et al. (2010).
