At the maturity stage, rice plants of ten representative hill in each treatment were collected and dried out at 80°C for the measurement of dry matter weight and determination of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation in aboveground tissue according to the methods described by Pan et al.22 . The rice plants collected were divided into leaf, stems and grain and then oven-dried at 80 °C, weighed, ground into powder for digestion. The digested samples were used to determine the total N content by the Kjeldahl method with a 2300 Kjeltec Analyser Unit (Foss Tecator AB, Swedish). The total P and K concentrations were determined by using the UV-VIS Spectrophotometer UV-2550 (SHIMADZU Corporation) and the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer AA-6300C (SHIMADZU Corporation) method, respectively.

Samples were collected every 24 h for measurement of residual glucose. One milliliter culture was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm. Supernatant was used for determination of residual glucose in the medium. Glucose was analyzed using Dionex ICS-3000 Ion Chromatography equipped with CarboPac TM PA20 analytical column and CarboPac TM PA20 guard column (Xiong et al., 2016 (link)). Glucose concentration was quantified by using the external standard method.
The cell growth was determined by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm of the culture using Shimadzu UV-Vis spectrophotometer, UV-2550. For cell dry weight (CDW) measurement, 5 ml of cell culture was collected and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min. The pellets were washed twice with 5 ml of distilled water and dried at 104°C, until a consistent weight was obtained (approximately 24 h). The data of weight of dried cell biomass were recorded.

Quantifying Lignin Reduction and Organic Carbon

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Acid soluble lignin and CHN analysis was done on nondegraded samples as well as samples obtained from batch scale tests and 6-gallon laboratory reactors at the end of reactor operations. The differences in these values were used to calculate the percent reductions in lignin shown in the results section. To analyze the solids for acid soluble lignin, a known weight (0.3 g) of ground sample was subjected to two-stage acid hydrolysis as follows. In the first stage, the sample was hydrolyzed in 3 mL of 72% sulfuric acid for 1 h at 30 °C. This was followed by a secondary hydrolysis after the addition of 83 mL of deionized water and a Fucose internal standard. The secondary hydrolysis was conducted in an autoclave (121 °C) for 1 h.
Acid soluble lignin was determined from UV absorbance at 215 nm of the filtered (0.45 mm) acid hydrolysate from the second stage digestion. For this purpose, a Shimadzu UV-VIS spectrophotometer (UV-2550, serial No. A108446) was used. Acid Soluble lignin was measured at 280 nm and 215 nm, and the lignin content was calculated by the following formula:
2.5.2. Total organic carbon Total Organic Carbon was measured for samples at the beginning and end of batch-scale and 6-gallon reactor operation with a CHN analyzer (Perkin-Elmer PE 2400). All samples were acid washed (1 M HCL) to eliminate inorganic carbon prior to analysis (Ryba et al., 2002) .

SEM (JSM-IT300, Japan) operating at an acceleration voltage 10 kV was used to analyze morphology and the structure of the composites. Before SEM analysis, the samples were ground into powder and dried under vacuum for 24 h. Raman scattering was performed on a laser Raman spectrometer (RENISHAW, Wotton-under-Edge, UK) at 633-nm laser excitation of a He–Ne laser. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR, Nicolet 6700, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to characterize the structure of the composites. The surface areas of the composites were obtained using the Langmuir single-layer adsorption technique. Absorption spectra were analyzed in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-2550, Shimadzu, Japan). The particle size was determined by nano series dynamic light scattering (DLS Malvern instruments Co, UK). The dynamic light scattering was measured at an angle of 173°. A He–Ne power laser was used, operating at a wavelength of 633 nm and a voltage of 22 mV.

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.
