Mitochondrial Metabolic Activity Assay

Mitochondrial metabolic activity was measured in digitonin-permeabilized cells using the PM1 MicroPlate (Biolog #12111, Hayward, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions (protocol document dated February 6, 2019 using cell preparation protocol Option 1). Briefly, cells were grown in lactate medium, washed and resuspended in high lactose osmotic stabilizing solution (YMAS), containing digitonin (#D-180-250, Gold Biotechnology, USA). After 1 hr, the permeabilized cells were seeded into 96-well PM1 MicroPlates containing different potential energy substrates. The colorimetric assay was initiated by adding Redox Dye Mix MC (Biolog #74353). The PM1 MicroPlate was then loaded into the OmniLog PM-M system (Biolog, Hayward, CA, USA) for kinetic reading at 30°C. The MitoPlates were read for 24 hr at 15 min intervals at OD590. OmniLog rate values were calculated using Data Analysis 1.7 software before being transferred to a Microsoft Excel sheet for reformatting. The software calculates the maximal rate change from the gradient of the reading output during the 24 hr time period. These data are presented as raw OD590 (A.U.).

For Carbon Source Phenotype Microarray™ (Biolog) assays, a stock solution of 2 × 107 bacteria/ml was prepared in 1X IF-Oa buffer (Biolog, 72268) supplemented with 1X Redox Dye Mix A (Biolog, 74221). 100 μl of this stock solution (delivering 2 × 106 bacteria) was added to each well of a PM1 Microplate™ (Biolog, 12111) and the plate was incubated at 37°C overnight with shaking. Absorbance was read at 590 nm on the infinite M200 plate reader (TECAN).

Normal saline was inoculated with 24-h cultures grown on Trypticase soy agar plates (BD) (30 g/liter Trypticase soy broth, 15 g/liter agar, where soy broth components included 17 g/liter pancreatic digest of casein, 3 g/liter papaic digest of soybean meal, 5 g/liter NaCl, 2.5 g/liter K2PO4, and 2.5 g/liter dextrose) from which 150 µl of the inoculated saline at 53% to 59% turbidity was transferred into each of the 96 wells (each containing a different carbon substrate) of an ES MicroPlate plate (Biolog; now available as PM-1 MicroPlate), and substrate utilization was observed after 24 h at 37°C.

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.
