Quantification of Free Amino Acids, Proline, and Phenols in Plant Callus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total free amino acids were extracted from callus samples with 70% ethanol (Himedia, Mumbai, India), and calculated using ninhydrin reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, Bangalore, India) as described in [25 (link)]. A standard curve against glycine was used to compute the sum of total free amino acids (0–100 mg). The free proline content was extracted from callus using 3% sulphosalicylic acid using L-proline (Sigma-Aldrich, Bangalore, India)) as a reference solution and estimated according to [26 (link)]. Total phenols were evaluated by using 10% Folin phenol reagent and standard NaHCO3 (Himedia, Mumbai, India) according to [27 (link)]. The absorbance was measured using catechol as the standard in a spectrophotometer at 660 nm.

Biofilm Formation on Coated Titanium Discs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Streptococcus mutans [Strain: MTCC 890] and Fusobacterium nucleatum [Strain: ATCC 25586] strains were purchased from the Institute of Microbial Technology (Chandigarh, India) and American Type Culture Collection [ATCC, Manassas, Virginia, USA], respectively, for use in the biofilm formation.

Incubation:

Specimens were divided into these two groups:

Group I: BN-coated titanium discs [BN],

Group II: Uncoated titanium discs [Control].

BHI (brain heart infusion) broth was prepared to inoculate Streptococcus mutans [Strain: MTCC 890] and Fusobacterium nucleatum [Strain: ATCC 25586] and then incubated (incubator, Yamto, Japan). The sample groups were divided into coated and uncoated BN for 24–48 h of analysis. The discs were sterilized by dipping them in 70% ethanol (Himedia, Mumbai, Maharastra, India) for 1 min. After sterilization, the samples were placed in the broth medium (Himedia, Mumbai, Maharastra, India) for incubation and analysis.

Ethanolic Extraction of Avicennia officinalis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fresh and mature leaves of Avicennia officinalis L (Order: Lamiales; Family: Acanthaceae) were collected from the Manakudy mangrove (Lat: 8° 05' 34.18"N and Long: Botany, 77° 29' 08.46" E) of Tamilnadu, India. The collected plant was identified and authenticated by a taxonomist from the Department of Botany at Sri Kaliswari College (SKC), Sivakasi, Tamilnadu, India and a voucher specimen 01289 is maintained at SKC Herbarium.
Both the voucher specimen and dried plant material were preserved in laboratory for further usage. The leaves of the experimental plant were washed, shade dried, finely powdered and subjected to soxhlation process for extraction using ethanol (Himedia, India). The crude extract was filtered, dried and then stored at 4°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.
