Mixing of Escherichia coli cells labeled with 13C glucose with unlabeled E. coli cells for benchmarking of protein-based stable isotope probing proteomics (Protein-SIP)

This dataset is part of a study aimed at developing algorithms for the quantification of stable isotope content in microorganisms after labeling them with stable isotope-labeled substrates. In this dataset Escherichia coli cultures were labeled with different percentages (1% or 10%) of either single-carbon 13C glucose (13C2) or fully-labeled 13C glucose (13C1-6). Labeled cells were subsequently mixed with unlabeled E. coli cells in fixed ratios (50%, 90%, 95%, 99%). Cultures of E. coli were grown in M9 minimal medium in which a percentage of the glucose was replaced with 13C2 or 13C1-6 glucose for >10 generations to achieve close to complete labeling of cells. Triplicate cultures were grown for each percentage. Please note that the unlabeled glucose that was used of course had a natural content of 13C of around 1.1%, thus the 0% added label samples have an actual 13C content of 1.1% and all added label is on top of this value. We included a tab delimited table with this submission providing details on all raw files.
