a b s t r a c t
Here we present Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman images of Steinernema kraussei nematode
worms and, in conjunction with chemometric analysis. We also distinguished the biochemical differences
associated with different regions of these images. The nematodes are complex, multicellular organisms
that have a simple, but dened body plan with distinct digestive, muscular and reproductive systems. As
such, nematodes have often been used as model organisms for the study of biological processes in higher
organisms. We show that FTIR spectra, collected in transmission mode, contain information from the
entire thickness of the nematode, but still exhibit biochemical differences reecting different tissues or
anatomical structures, such as the digestive tract. Raman spectroscopy, in contrast, can be used to investigate the distribution of biological molecules on one plane within a constrained depth of the nematode,
allowing imaging of ne details within the body of the worm, including the distribution of lipid, protein
and collagen. Together these vibrational spectroscopic techniques provide complementary, non-invasive
and label-free information on the spatial distribution of biomolecules within multicellular organisms and,
therefore, have potential future applications in developmental studies of such model organisms.

1. Introduction
Genetically amenable multicellular organisms have been instrumental in elucidating gene function and regulation, cellular
organisation and the developmental stages from embryo to adult.
Multicellular organisms are evolutionarily highly conserved. Simple multi-cellular organisms contain direct or similar orthologues
to developmental processes in humans. They also have faster life
cycles and reproduce more rapidly compared to higher organisms, allowing studies of development and metabolism on realistic
timescales. According to Nobel Laureate Sydney Brenner, the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is, the simplest differentiated
organism. Since Brenner proposed its use as a model organism
in the 1960s, C. elegans has been widely adopted as a model for
understanding gene functions [1] and geneprotein interaction, as
well as analogues of human diseases [2]. In this study on the nematode species Steinernema kraussei, we explore the use of FTIR and
Raman spectroscopies as non-invasive and label-free techniques to
provide in situ biochemical information within the nematode.

3. Results
3.1. Complete nematode FTIR imaging distinguishes anatomical
regions based on IR spectral variation
The FTIR spectra recorded in this study arose from the
absorbance of IR light through the entire thickness of the nematode. Therefore, an overview of the overall biochemical contents of
the nematode was obtained. The blunt ended head and the sharp
ended tail regions of a nematode can be easily distinguished in the
white light image (Fig. 1A). By applying HCA to the IR spectra collected from the S. kraussei nematode and selecting an appropriate
number of clusters (in this case, 5) different regions were identied (Fig. 1B), which correspond to anatomical features such as the
digestive tract and body cavity. Comparisons of the average spectra
of each of the clusters (shown in the same colours as the clusters
they to which they correspond) show that these regions vary significantly from one another biochemically. In general, all the clusters
exhibit a similar spectral prole containing a mix of lipid, protein,
carbohydrate and nucleic acid bands, but the proportions of each
of these components differ between the different clusters.
The blue cluster is found in the head and the tail regions, as well
as some parts of the mid-length of the body. According to the IR
spectrum, the blue cluster is low in total lipids, as evidenced by
the absence of a C O band at 1740 cm1 and a lack of prominent
CH2 and CH3 symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations in
the high wavenumber region. Its high protein content is conrmed
by the prominent amide I and amide II bands at 1652 cm1 and
1540 cm1 , respectively (Fig. 1C). The grey cluster runs along the
length of the nematode. Similar to the blue cluster, the grey cluster
is also dominated by high protein presence and a low lipid level, as
shown by the high amide I and II peaks at 1652 cm1 and 1540 cm1
and little contribution from C O stretching at 1740 cm1 . The main
difference between the spectra originating from the blue and grey
clusters is found in the relative intensity of the two bands at
2962 cm1 and 2935 cm1 , suggesting that, although the lipid content is low in both cases, the grey cluster exhibits slightly lower
asym (CH3 ) [18,19]. The higher asym (CH3 ) in the blue spectrum
suggests higher acyl branching [8]. Both the grey and blue clusters are protein rich and are associated with the head and body
regions, suggesting these clusters represent the body cavity, which
are relatively rich in proteins associated with muscle or hypodermal proteins [20]. The small difference in lipid content between
these two clusters is likely to reect differences in the types of tissue
present at these positions.
The remaining three clusters, depicted in cyan, red, and green,
are all associated with the centre of the nematode, close to the
digestive tract. The cluster in cyan contains signicant contributions from protein, as shown by the amide I and amide II bands
at 1652 cm1 and 1547 cm1 , and a moderate lipid component,
highlighted by the C O stretching band at 1740 cm1 . Additional
contributions from phosphate and carbohydrate associated bands
are observed between 1230 cm1 and 1000 cm1 [18,19].
Those in red and green are both lipid rich with intense peaks
at 2927 cm1 and 2855 cm1 originating from asym (CH2 ) and
sym (CH3 ) of methylene groups in fatty acids, respectively [18,19].
The main differences between these two clusters are associated
with the protein content, which is relatively high in the green
cluster, as shown by higher intensities for the amide I, amide II,
amide III and COO stretching in amino acid side chains [18,19,21]
positioned at 1652 cm1 , 1540 cm1 , 1310 cm1 and 1401 cm1 ,
respectively. The green cluster also exhibits a more intense spectral
envelope centred around 1075 cm1 originating from PO2 stretching in phosphodiesters. The red cluster, however, shows a relative
increase in intensity for the IR band at 1162 cm1 , which is associated with C O in proteins and carbohydrates [8]. In this particular
case, the relative increase in intensity is likely to be associated with
carbohydrates, given the relatively low contributions from other
protein based bands in the red spectrum. Given the localisation of
the red and green clusters, both are anticipated to be associated
with the digestive tract. When considering their spectral differences, the green cluster, as it reects higher protein content, may
depict the digestive tract itself. The red cluster, on the other hand
displays relatively high lipid and carbohydrate, but low protein
contributions, and may reect the contents of the digestive tract.
3.2. Complete nematode Raman imaging identies lipid rich,
protein rich and collagen rich domains
Raman imaging over the entire length of a different nematode
(Fig. 2A) at approximately 1 m resolution, successfully captured
biochemical information on a dened plane across the centre of the
nematode, in a spatially resolved manner. The application of PCA to
the Raman data resulted in three main PCs that contain biochemical information of the nematodePC3 (magenta), PC4 (cyan) and
PC8 (yellow). These colours are combined in the image such that
overlapping cyan and magenta results in green colour (Fig. 2B).
Comparing the PC loadings (not shown) to the band assignments in Table 1, PC3 (magenta) is characterised positively by peaks
at 1265 cm1 , 1301 cm1 , 1440 cm1 , 1462 cm1 and 1659 cm1 ,
assigned to lipid, and the amide I and amide III protein bands
[2224]. It is strongly negatively characterised by a peak at
1209 cm1 associated with the amino acids phenylalanine and
tyrosine [24], as well as peaks at 1347 cm1 and 1393 cm1 . PC3
therefore represents regions consisting mainly of lipid with some
protein. This cluster is mainly distributed in the centre of the nematode and, as such, is similar to the red and green clusters identied
in the FTIR analysis which are also lipid rich with some contributions from protein components.
PC4 (cyan) is predominantly found at the ventral edge and
the tail region of the nematode. According to its PC loadings,
it is positively characterised by collagen and collagen components (proline and hydroxyproline) peaks at 950 cm1 , 1028 cm1
and 1072 cm1 [25], as well as carotenoid peaks at 1192 cm1 ,
1512 cm1 , 1515 cm1 , 1523 cm1 and 1536 cm1 [22,26]. It is
negatively characterised by a range of protein, lipid and carbohydrate peaks at 1003 (phenylalanine), 1129 cm1 (lipid and protein),
1255 cm1 and 1265 cm1 (amide III), 1347 cm1 (C H deformations), 1394 cm1 , 1449 cm1 (C H deformations) and 1659 cm1
(amide I) [24,27], which are the main protein and lipid constituents
of a multicellular organism. The PC loadings suggest that PC4 represents domains biochemically different from the main nematode
core body, and contain mainly collagen and carotenoid. As collagen
is the main component of the outer cuticle of nematodes, and as
PC4 occupies the ventral edge position, the presence of collagen is
to be expected.
PC8 (yellow) is distributed throughout the worm, especially
in the head region and the edge of the body, predominantly the
dorsal side, showing a similar distribution to the grey cluster

which contains a high level of detail but similar contents to the tail
map, the distribution of the PCs and their loadings plots are shown
in Fig. 4, while for details on band assignments for each of the PC
loadings, readers are referred to Table 3.
3.3.1. Tail section Raman image
In the tail section, PCA resolved 5 biologically relevant domains
(Fig. 3, PC2PC6). PC1 represents the background (data not shown).
PC2 (yellow) is characterised by peaks attributed to protein and
lipid, and is found throughout the tail region. The most intense
regions coincide with those shown in PC3 (magenta) which is positively characterised by lipid bands but negatively characterised
by protein bands, and therefore denotes pure lipid domains. The
overlap between PC2 and PC3 originates from the presence of lipid
associated bands in both loading plots. These domains correlate
to the known lipid droplets in the nematode intestine, which are
important for lipid storage and metabolism [28]. PC5 loadings (Fig. 3
and Table 2) display characteristics for collagen and collagen components hydroxyproline and proline. PC5 (green) is thus likely to
represent the outer cuticle of the nematode, especially as this is
predominantly found at the edge of the nematode.
PC4 (red) is characterised by peaks ascribed to phenylalanine,
glycogen, glucose, carotenoids and globins and therefore is likely
to denote muscular domains. The presence of -carotene in muscle bre has been reported previously [26]. Globins are iron- or
oxygen-binding proteins, which are required in muscles. More than
30 globin-like genes are known to be present in the genome of

5. Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the rst report combining FTIR and
spontaneous Raman spectroscopic imaging to resolve biochemical
details from a nematode. The unique point of our work is that, a
full range of biochemical information can be obtained from each
point of the examined area from each single analysis, and provide
spatial information at the same time. Through applying multivariate analysis such as HCA and PCA, spectral variations in the data set
are extracted. Although coherent anti-Stokes spectroscopy (CARS)
imaging has been applied to showing locations of lipid droplets in C.
elegans [28], and it is rapid enough for live nematode analysis, CARS
is mostly restricted to imaging lipids based on the C H stretching
bands in the 28003000 cm1 region. Our Raman and FTIR images
not only show the distribution of lipid in the imaged area, but also
allow simultaneous visualisation of the distribution of other important biochemical components such as proteins, carbohydrates and
nucleic acids.
This work demonstrates the capability of vibrational spectroscopic imaging to obtain chemico-structural details in a
multicellular model organism. However, as a nematode is a three
dimensional object, to analyse its biochemical details in relation to
its internal organisation, 3D confocal Raman imaging is the logical
next step. Future work including 3D Raman mapping of a nematode (collect Raman maps at different depths) would be insightful
and valuable. Ideally, 3D data should be collected as a single data
set and multivariate analysis applied to the spectra from the volume as an entity, to enable volumetric data deconvolution and
visualisation.
