The lyophilized metabolic extracts were suspended in 0.6 ml of deuterated water (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories Inc., Tewksbury, MA, USA) containing phosphate buffer (100 mM) and TSP (3-3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,2,3,3-tetradeuteropropionic acid or TMSP-d4, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) (0.5 mM) and inserted into a 5 mm NMR tube for immediate acquisition. Spectra were acquired on a Varian Inova NMR spectrometer (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA), equipped with a triple resonance probe and operating at a resonant frequency of 1H at 500 MHz and a constant temperature of 25°C. Two hundred and fifty-six scans were performed with delays of 1.5 seconds, a reading window of 16 ppm, and an acquisition time of 4 seconds. Phase and baseline corrections, as well as metabolic identification and quantification, were performed in Chenomx NMR Suite 7.1 (Chenomx Inc., Edmonton, Canada). In total, 78 1H-NMR spectra were analyzed. Metabolite set enrichment analyses were performed with the platform MetaboAnalyst (33 (link)) (http://www.metaboanalyst.ca).

Quercetin (≥95 %), tannic acid, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), (+) - 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid - Trolox (≥97 %), type I agarose and anhydrous potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (Aldrich Brasil Ltda., Brazil). l-ascorbic acid (≥99.0 %), ethanol PA (99.5 %), and anhydrous sodium carbonate Na2CO3 (≥99.5) were obtained from Synth (LABSYNTH, Brazil), while ultrapure monohydrate gallic acid and aluminum chloride (III) (≥99.5 %) from Vetec (VETEC-Sigma-Aldrich, Brazil). The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and bovine serum albumin–BSA were acquired from Merck (Merck, USA). Glacial acetic acid PA and sodium hydroxide were obtained from Dinâmica (Dinâmica, Brazil. Nutrient broth, malt extract, yeast extract, potato extract, and agar were purchased from Acumedia (Acumendia, USA). DMSOd6 and TMSP-d4 (2,2,3,3-d4-3- sodium trimethylsilylpropionate) were purchased from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (USA). The reagents used in antimicrobial susceptibility tests were ciclopirox olamine [(LOPROX®), 10 mg g−1, Sanofi-Aventis, Brazil)], DMSO [(≥99.0), Sigma-Aldrich (Aldrich Brasil Ltda., Brazil], DMEM Mix F12, penicillin G, gentamicin, amphotericin B, glucose, l-glutamine, and fetal from Gibco (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Brazil).

Photosynthetic Biocomposite Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The M. thermoacetica-CdS was prepared as the previous method (6 (link)). Typically, 1 mM Cd(NO3)2 was added to the M. thermoacetica when OD600 reached 0.42. After 3 d of growth, the opaque yellow suspension revealed the formation of M. thermoacetica-CdS. The MOF cytoprotected PBS was prepared in the same way as shown above. Before photosynthesis, 0.2 wt % cysteine was added to each tube. The sterilized O2 was injected into each tube until 2% (vol/vol) to mimic the oxidative stress condition in the whole reaction. Each tube was stirred at 150 rpm and heated to a measured temperature of 55 °C by a stirring hot plate. The illumination source employed for simulated sunlight measurements was a collimated 75-W Xenon lamp (Newport, Corp.) with an AM 1.5 G filter. All light intensities were calibrated by a silicon photodiode (Hamamatsu S1787-04). Concentrations of photosynthetic products were measured by 1H-qNMR with sodium 3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,2′,3,3′-tetradeuteropropionate (TMSP-d4; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc.) as the internal standard in D2O. Spectra were processed using the MestReNova software.

Before collecting NMR spectra, proteins and larger macromolecules were removed from the samples using filters with a 3K molecular weight cutoff (Microsep, Pall Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI). Following filtration, 330 µL of each filtered plasma sample was mixed with 330 µL of sterile referencing solution36 (link), (200 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 1 mM 3-trimethylsilylpropionate 2, 2, 3, 3-d4 (TMSP-d4, Cambridge Isotope Labs DLM-48-5) and 0.1% (w/v) sodium azide (NaN3) in 50% deuterium oxide (D2O, Cambridge Isotope Labs DLM-4 99)). Six hundred μL of the mixture was transferred to a clean NMR tube (Wilmad LabGlass, 535-PP-7) and kept at 4 °C for less than 24 h before NMR data acquisition.

Ultra-pure low viscosity (20–200 mPa·s) sodium alginate with high guluronic acid (UPLVG) contents was purchased from Nova-Matrix (Sandvika, Norway). UPLVG alginate was reported by the manufacturer to have molecular weights 75–200kDa and G/M ratios of 1.5, and the G/M ratios were not altered by our modifications as shown in Table 2. 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzoic acid was purchased from Combi-Blocks (San Diego, CA); sodium meta-periodate >99% purity was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX) and TMSP-d4 for NMR quantification was obtained from Cambridge Isotope Labs (Tewksbury, MA). All other chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis MO).

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.
