Microbial and Physicochemical Analysis of Milk

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Milk samples (25 ml) were diluted in buffered peptone saline (225 ml, 0.5% w/v; peptone; 0.85% w/v; NaCl), mixed in stomacher bag (Seward 400, England) for 2 min. To quantify the various microbial groups, Increased sensitivity to <1 CFU (colony-forming unit) per mL was achieved by spread plating 1 mL of the undiluted sample onto the agar media as well as the 1:10 dilutions to eliminate any inhibitory effect that may be present in the undiluted sample. Total plate count (TPC) was carried out on plate count agar (PCA), incubated at 32°C for 72 h (18 ). The coliforms were determined by the most probable number (MPN) method according to the US standard method (19 ). Staphylococcus aureus was enumerated on Baird Parker agar supplemented with egg yolk according to (20 (link)). Listeria monocytogenes were detected according to (21 ) while the Escherichia coli was examined with MacConkey agar followed by 24 h incubation at 37°C according to (22 ).
Lactose, protein, fats, and total solids contents (%) were evaluated using Near Infra-Red Multipurpose Analyzer (MPA), Bruker Optik Gmbh (Ettlingen, Germany) (23 (link)). The pH of the samples was determined using a digital pH meter (Starter 3100; Ohaus, New Jersey, USA), and the titratable acidity was determined in triplicate using the standard method ISO/TS 11,869:2,012 (IDF/RM 150:2,012) (3 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Batch cultures of living microalga P. duplex AARLG060 were cultivated in natural contaminated wastewater obtained from the rehabilitated reservoir. The modified medium that had been optimized for low cost and high Mn remediation from the previous study was used. It consisted of NaNO3 (0.09438 g/L), KH2PO4 (0.02606 g/L), CaHCO3 (0.0159 g/L), and MgSO4.7H2O (0.0500 g/L) (Thongpitak et al., 2018 ). Each treatment was grown in triplicate at ambient temperatures using LED illumination (111.81 μE m–2 s–1). The light conditions were set to simulate high light intensity for large-scale outdoor remediation. Microalgal growth was determined daily by the measurement of optical density at 665 nm (OD665) using a spectrophotometer (genesis 20, ThermoScientific Fisher, United States). The pH value was measured using a pH meter (starter3100, OHAUS, United States). Initial microalga optical density was recorded at 665 nm (OD665) and adjusted to 0.2 for each treatment. Additionally, 300 mL of microalga was cultivated in 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. The cultures were manually shaken three times per day to confirm that all alga cells had been suspended. Manual agitation was employed to prevent dissolved oxygen from agitation, which could interfere with Mn oxidation in the microalgal photosynthesis.

A potentiostat (AMEL, models 2553 and 2700) with three electrode systems, i.e., a reference electrode (Ag/AgCl, 1 M saturated KCl), a platinum counter electrode, and high-quality pencil graphite, acting as a working electrode (WE) was employed to conduct the electrochemical tests. All three electrodes were properly washed by using double-distilled water (DDW) before each and every experiment. A digital pH meter (STARTER 3100, OHAUS) was used to adjust the desired pH of the solution. K. Roy's smart electronic balance (model number 108) and Abron Exports' magnetic stirrer hot plate (model number MSWHP) were used for weighing and stirring, respectively, during the synthesis of BaTiO3 nanoparticles. For the characterization study, the following techniques were used: UV-visible (Specord 200+ of Analytik Jena's, serial no. 223E2003C, Germany), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) (Shimadzu FTIR-8400S Spectrum), which performed in the range of 4000 to 500 cm−1 at ambient temperature (25 ± 1 °C) using KBr pellets mixed at a ratio of 1 : 20, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) (model JSM5910, Japan), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis (Quantachrome-ASIQwin-USA), zeta potential (Nano Zs90) (Malvern, UK), X-ray diffraction (XRD) (JDX-3532, JEOL, Japan) (2θ range from 5 to 80°), and Raman analysis (InVia Raman microscope by RENISHAW UK).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For activation of sperm motility, the following treatments were tested: temperature (29, 31, 33, and 35°C), pH (4 and 8), and interaction between pH and hypoxia (1 mgO2·L−1) in controlled activator solution (distilled water-0 mOsm kg−1). The different temperatures were maintained using thermostats HOPAR model (Aquarium Heater H-606). The pHs 4 and 8 were achieved by adding HCl 1% and NaOH 1%, respectively. The pH values were then monitored using a digital pH meter (Ohaus, Starter 3100). Hypoxia was adjusted with the addition of gaseous nitrogen until the concentration of 1 mgO2 L−1. The sperm were activated in the proportion 2:20 (v:v), in a closed environment with controlled temperature (23°C). Immediately after activation, sperm were observed under an optical microscope (Leica DM500; 40x), by the same observer to avoid the subject bias of the analyzes. The motility time was monitored with the aid of a timer (s) being evaluated from the start of movement until 100% sperm immobility. To identify the percent of sperm motility, a scale from 0 to 100% was used, according to Cosson et al. (2008) (link), where: 1 = 0–5%, 2 = 5–25%, 3 = 25–50%, 4 = 50–75%, 5 = 75–100%. For each treatment, nine replicates were performed in triplicate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) used in this experiment was purchased from a local market in Jeonju, Korea. Broccoli juice was prepared as described by Xu et al. [38 (link)] with several modifications. After washing the broccoli with distilled water, the leaves, and stalks were removed, and the florets were homogenized in sterile distilled water at a ratio of 1:2 (broccoli/distilled water, g/mL). The prepared broccoli juice was filtered through a cloth to separate the solid components, transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask, and pasteurized at 60 °C for 5 min. P. pentosaceus JBCC 106 was pre-cultured in MRS broth medium at 37 °C for 24 h and inoculated into the broccoli juice and fermented at 37 °C for 36 h. During fermentation, 30 mL samples were collected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 h and stored at −20 °C until analysis. The pH of the stored samples was determined using a pH meter (Starter3100, Ohaus, Parsippany, NS, USA) and viable cell count was measured by dispensing each sample diluted in sterilized distilled water onto an MRS agar plate and incubating at 37 °C for 24 h. All experiments were conducted in triplicate.

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.
