Heat-Assisted Extraction of R. ulmifolius Fruits

Heat assisted extraction (HAE) was performed according to a methodology previously described by Pinela et al. [9 (link)], using 1.0 g of the R. ulmifolius fruit with 20 mL of solvent with different conditions previously defined by the RSM design (Table 1): time (t or X1, 20 to 120 min), temperature (T or X2, 20 to 90 °C) and ethanol proportions acidified with citric acid (pH 2.5) (S or X3, 0 to 100%). The solid-to-liquid ratio (S/L or X4) was maintained at 50 g/L. After the extraction, the samples were centrifuged (6000 rpm for 20 min at 10 °C) and filtered (paper filter Whatman nº 4) and the supernatant was collected and divided into two portions for HPLC-DAD and extraction yield analysis. A portion of 3 mL was filtered through a LC filter disk (nylon filter 0.2 µm, 25 mm diameter, Whatman™, GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) for chromatographic analysis and another portion of 5 mL was dried in an incubator (Jouan, Berlim, Alemanha) at 105 °C over 48 h for suspended solids determination in order to determine the extraction yield assessment.

Dry biomass samples were extracted with 80% aqueous acetone (1:40, w/v) after stirring for 24 h, at room temperature (RT, approx. 20 °C). Extracts were filtered (paper Whatman nº4), solvent evaporated under reduced pressure (at 40 °C in rotary evaporator R-210, Buchi Labortechnik AG, Flawil, Switzerland), redissolved at 25 mg/mL in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and stored at −20 °C until needed.

Biocontrol of Rice Blast Using Bacterial Isolates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The isolates BRM 32111 and BRM 32112 were selected based on the results from the in vitro assays. One milliliter of bacterial suspension (10 8 ufc . ml -1 ) was transferred to Simmons liquid culture medium containing 3 × 10 5 conidia mL -1 of M. oryzae and kept in a shaker for 10 days. After centrifuging the resulting solutions, the supernatant was filtered using Whatman, nº 4 under vacuum.
Rice plants, at the V3 growth stage, were sprayed until the point of dripping, with a suspension containing conidia (3 × 10 5 mL -1 at final concentration) of M. oryzae mixed with: T1-control (water), T2-cell suspension of BRM 32111, T3-cell suspension of BRM 32112, T4-filtrate of BRM 32112, T5-filtrate BRM 32111, T6-filtrate of BRM 32111 + M. oryzae conidia, T7-filtrate of BRM 32112 + M. oryzae. After spray inoculations, the plants were incubated at temperatures varying from 28 to 30 ºC at high humidity.

Isolation of Vochysiamides A and B

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Strain LGMF1583 was cultivated in PDA at 28 °C for 3 days, and culture was cut into 8 mm plugs. Five plugs were used to inoculate 32 Erlenmeyer flasks (500 mL) containing 250 mL MEB medium and incubated at 28 °C for 10 days on a rotary shaker (180 rpm). After this period, the culture was filtered-off on Whatman n. 4, and the supernatant was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x v/v). The recovered organic extracts were evaporated in vacuo at 40 °C to yield 850 mg of a brown, oily crude extract (Fig. 1).
As highlighted in Fig. 1, the crude extract obtained (850 mg) was subjected to a Reverse Phase C18 column chromatography (20 × 2.0 cm, 250g) eluted with a gradient of H2O- CH3CN (100:0 - 0:100) followed by HPLC analysis to produce five fractions [FI (187 mg), FII (135 mg), FIII (191 mg), FIV (83 mg) and FV (171 mg)]. Further purification of FIII using Sephadex LH-20 (MeOH, 25.0 × 2.0 cm) followed by HPLC afforded the new compounds, vochysiamides A (1; 4.0 mg) and B (2; 7.0 mg) in pure forms as white solids. In the same manner, FI was subjected to Sephadex LH-20 (CH2Cl2/40% MeOH; 1 × 40 cm), followed by HPLC purification to afford 2,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol (3; 36.2 mg) in pure form as white solid (Fig. 1). All the remaining fractions and sub-fractions were omitted based on the HPLC analysis and/or the absence of bioactivity.

Extraction of Tannat Grape Pomace

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seeds and skins of Tannat grape pomace were manually separated and the skin was submitted to drying at 40 °C up to constant weight, achieved at 24 h [3 (link)]. Skin was then powdered by employing a domestic mill.
Extract was prepared by weighting 20 g of Tannat dried grape skin powder and adding 200 mL of solvent (methanol-water-formic acid, 70:25:5) (hydro-alcoholic-acid extraction, EHAA). The extract (EHAA) was then filtered through filter paper (Whatman n°4), the supernatant dried in a rotary evaporator, then diluted with distilled water, freeze dried for 4 days, and stored at −20 °C for subsequent analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
