S. pyogenes was routinely grown in Todd-Hewitt (TH; BD Biosciences) supplemented with 0.2% yeast extract (Y; Amresco) or in an improved chemically-defined medium (CDM) based on a previously described recipe [21] (link), [51] (link). Briefly, we found that the preparation of this medium could be streamlined by combining components into stock solutions that could be stored at −20°C or room temperature (as described in
To model the N-linked glycan shield, we first determined all possible N-linked sequons in the HIV-1 Env trimer structure. A single asparagine residue in each sequon was targeted for computational N-linked glycan addition using a series of oligomannose 9 rotamer libraries at different resolutions. In constructing the rotamer libraries, the asparagine side chain rotamers were also considered. To avoid a combinatorial explosion in the search space, select torsion angles in the oligomannose 9 rotamer libraries were allowed to vary in increments between 30-60 degrees. We used an overlap factor (ofac) to screen for clashes between the sugar moieties and the trimer structure. The ofac between two nonbonded atoms is defined as the distance between two atoms divided by the sum of their van der Waal's radii. For the modeling carried out here, we set the ofac to a value of 0.60. For sterically occluded positions, the ofac was set to 0.55. To remove steric bumps between sugar moieties, all models were subjected to 100 cycles of conjugate gradient energy minimization using the GLYCAM65 (link) force field in Amber1266 with a distance-dependent dielectric.

A. Seed Treatment with Isolated Microbe
In this example, an isolated microbe from Tables 1-3 will be applied as a seed coating to seeds of corn (Zea mays). Upon applying the isolated microbe as a seed coating, the corn will be planted and cultivated in the standard manner.
A control plot of corn seeds, which did not have the isolated microbe applied as a seed coating, will also be planted.
It is expected that the corn plants grown from the seeds treated with the seed coating will exhibit a quantifiably higher biomass than the control corn plants.

For example, it is anticipated that a farmer will apply the agricultural composition to the corn seeds simultaneously upon planting the seeds into the field. This can be accomplished, for example, by applying the agricultural composition to a hopper/bulk tank on a standard 16 row planter, which contains the corn seeds and which is configured to plant the same into rows. Alternatively, the agricultural composition can be contained in a separate bulk tank on the planter and sprayed into the rows upon planting the corn seed.

The inoculants were prepared from isolates grown as spread plates on R2A incubated at 25° C. for 48 to 72 hours. Colonies were harvested by blending with sterile distilled water (SDW) which was then transferred into sterile containers. Serial dilutions of the harvested cells were plated and incubated at 25° C. for 24 hours to estimate the number of colony forming units (CFU) in each suspension. Dilutions were prepared using individual isolates or blends of isolates (consortia) to deliver 1×105 cfu/microbe/seed and seeds inoculated by either imbibition in the liquid suspension or by overtreatment with 5% vegetable gum and oil.
Seeds corresponding to the plants of table 15 were planted within 24 to 48 hours of treatment in agricultural soil, potting media or inert growing media. Plants were grown in small pots (28 mL to 200 mL) in either a controlled environment or in a greenhouse. Chamber photoperiod was set to 16 hours for all experiments on all species. Air temperature was typically maintained between 22-24° C.
Unless otherwise stated, all plants were watered with tap water 2 to 3 times weekly. Growth conditions were varied according to the trait of interest and included manipulation of applied fertilizer, watering regime and salt stress as follows:
-
- Low N—seeds planted in soil potting media or inert growing media with no applied N fertilizer
- Moderate N—seeds planted in soil or growing media supplemented with commercial N fertilizer to equivalent of 135 kg/ha applied N
- Insol P—seeds planted in potting media or inert growth substrate and watered with quarter strength Pikovskaya's liquid medium containing tri-calcium phosphate as the only form phosphate fertilizer.
- Cold Stress—seeds planted in soil, potting media or inert growing media and incubated at 10° C. for one week before being transferred to the plant growth room.
- Salt stress—seeds planted in soil, potting media or inert growing media and watered with a solution containing between 100 to 200 mg/L NaCl.
Untreated (no applied microbe) controls were prepared for each experiment. Plants were randomized on trays throughout the growth environment. Between 10 and 30 replicate plants were prepared for each treatment in each experiment. Phenotypes were measured during early vegetative growth, typically before the V3 developmental stage and between 3 and 6 weeks after sowing. Foliage was cut and weighed. Roots were washed, blotted dry and weighed. Results indicate performance of treatments against the untreated control.
The data presented in table 15 describes the efficacy with which a microbial species or strain can change a phenotype of interest relative to a control run in the same experiment. Phenotypes measured were shoot fresh weight and root fresh weight for plants growing either in the absence of presence of a stress (assay). For each microbe species, an overall efficacy score indicates the percentage of times a strain of that species increased a both shoot and root fresh weight in independent evaluations. For each species, the specifics of each independent assay is given, providing a strain ID (strain) and the crop species the assay was performed on (crop). For each independent assay the percentage increase in shoot and root fresh weight over the controls is given.
Mass spectrometry data were recorded for 60 min for each run and controlled by MassLynx 4.2 (Waters, Milford, MA). Acquisition mode was set to positive polarity under resolution mode. Mass range was set from 50 to 2000 Da. Capillary voltage was 3.5 kV, sampling cone at 25 V, and extraction cone at 2.5 V. Source temperature was held at 110°C. Cone gas was set to 25 l/hr, nano flow gas at 0.10 bar, and desolvation gas at 1200 l/hr. Leucine–enkephalin at 720 pmol/µl (Waters, Milford, MA) was used as the lock mass ion at m/z 556.2771 and introduced at 1 µl/min at 45-s intervals with a 3 scan average and mass window of ±0.5 Da. The Mse data were acquired using two scan functions, corresponding to low energy for function 1 and high energy for function 2. Function 1 had collision energy at 6 V and function 2 had a collision energy ramp of 18–42 V.
RAW Mse files were processed using Protein Lynx Global Server (PLGS) version 3.0.3 (Waters, Milford, MA). Processing parameters consisted of a low energy threshold set at 200.0 counts, an elevated energy threshold set at 25.0 counts, and an intensity threshold set at 1500 counts. The databank used corresponded to C. elegans and was downloaded from

57) supplemented with “common contaminants” from the
Max Planck Institute (
The sequence database consisted of forward and reversed sequences;
in total, 72,226 sequences were searched. The search engines were
Mascot and Comet, with trypsin specificity and two missed cleavage
sites allowed. Methionine oxidation and asparagine/glutamine deamidation
were set as variable modifications. The fragment mass tolerance was
0.6 Da, and the mass window for the precursor was ±12 ppm. The
resulting Comet and Mascot search results were individually processed
by PeptideProphet,22 (link) and peptides were
assembled into proteins using parsimony rules first described in ProteinProphet23 (link) into a final iProphet24 (link) protein output using the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP; Linux version,
v0.0 Development trunk rev 0, Build 201303061711). TPP options were
as follows: general options were -p0.05 -x20 -PPM - d’DECOY’;
iProphet options were pPRIME and PeptideProphet options were pPAEd.
All proteins with a minimal iProphet protein probability of 0.05 were
parsed to the relational module of ProHits. Note that for analysis
with significance analysis of interactome (SAINT), only proteins with
iProphet protein probability R ≥ 0.95 and
two unique peptides are considered.
