Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemical characterization was performed using gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) (Shimadzu, Japan). Gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometry (GC/EIMS) (70 eV) analysis was carried out using a Shimadzu GC/MS spectrometer (GC-2010). A Durabond-DB5 capillary column (30 m x 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm film thickness) (J&W Scientific) was operated at 60°C for 3 min and then programmed for 60-220°C at 5°C/min, after which it was kept under isothermal conditions at 220°C for 5 min. The carrier gas was helium (purity of 99.99%) (1 ml/min), and the injector temperature was 250°C. The analyses were performed in a split injector mode (1:30). The essential oil components were identified by comparing their retention indexes (relative to n-alkanes) and mass spectra with those found in the literature. 19, 20 (link) They were then stored in a spectrometer database. The analyses were performed in triplicate.

Acetone extracts of rosemary and licorice were concentrated in a desiccator and subjected to GC-MS analysis (Khalil et al., 2022a, b) . Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy (GC-MS, Shimadzu) was used to identify metabolic products. Temperatures were set at 270 °C for the injection port and 280 °C for the GC-MS interface, with a temperature flow rate of 10 °C/min. With 10 ml/min flow rate, helium was used as collision gas. The test samples' compound names and molecular formulas were determined using NIST library spectra databases.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The compositions of other lignocellulosic degradation products in samples were assessed using GCMS (Shimadzu) following the method of Chokwe et al. (9 (link)), with a detection limit for the peak area >2%. The liquid–liquid extraction pretreatment was conducted prior to the GCMS analysis using CH2Cl2 (chromatogram pure grade, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). A 20-mL pre-treated sample was freeze-dried prior to being dissolved in 2 mL of methanol. The sample was then filtered through a 0.22-μm nylon membrane before being analyzed. GCMS was equipped with a DB-5 column (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with an internal diameter of 30 m×0.25 mm and film thickness of 0.25 μm. Conditions were set as follows: the initial oven temperature was held at 70°C for 2 min, increased at 20°C min−1 to 230°C, and then elevated to 270°C. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1. The injector temperature was maintained at 250°C. A 1-μL sample was injected neat with a split ratio of 1:10. Mass spectra were recorded over the 50–650 amu range at 1 scan s−1 with an ionization energy of 70 eV and ion source temperature of 230°C. The compositions of samples were qualitatively identified through comparisons of their mass spectra in a library and published literature.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Oil Concentration

The oil concentration was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry (Alpha-1860s, China) at 225 nm.23 (link) The positive correlation between the oil concentration and its absorbance was shown in Fig. S2. The zeta potential were measured by using a Zeta Nanosizer instrument (Malvern Istruments, UK). The sediment and contaminant samples were imaged by optical microscopy (Leica DM1000 LED, Leica, Germany). Fluorescent images were obtained by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM, Fluo View FV1000, Olympus Corporation, Japan). Petroleum hydrocarbon components in the extracts were analyzed using GC-FID (Agilent 7890A Series GC System, USA) and GC-MS (Shimadzu Kyoto, Japan). Parameters of GC-FID and GC-MS analysis are given in ESI.

Material L. domesticum fruit peel was collected from Purbalingga, Central Java, Indonesia and identified in Department of Biology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Solvents used were p.a grades from E Merck. Silica gel F254 were used for thinlayer chromatography dan Silica gel PF254 for preparative thin layer chromatography (Merck), Cerium (IV) sulfate tetrahydrate (E Merck), RPMI 1640, Fetal Bovine Serum, Penicillin-Streptomycin, Fungizon, Sodium bicarbonate (Gibco), HEPES (Invitrogen), Phosphate Buffered Saline, MTT, Doxorubicin (Sigma Aldrich). The T-47D and HepG2 cell lines were collection from Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Mass spectra were obtained from GC-MS (Shimadzu). Spectra of 1 H-and 13 C-NMR (CDCl3) were measured using JEOL JNM-ECZ 500R/S1 at 500 MHz. Infrared (KBr) spectrum was obtained from spectrophotometer (Shimadzu). Ultraviolet spectrum (CHCl3) was obtained from UV spectrophotometer (Hitachi UH 5300).

BNF was measured by acetylene reduction/ethylene production assay (ARA) as described previously by Majeed et al. (2015 (link)). Briefly, pure bacterial cultures were inoculated in 20 ml airtight vials containing 5 ml semisolid nitrogen free NFb medium and grown for 48 h at 28°C. Following pellicle formation, 10% (v/v) acetylene gas was injected into the vials, which were incubated for 16 h at 30°C. Samples were then analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) (Shimadzu, Japan) using RTX5 column (Restek, USA) and a H2-flame ionization detector (FID). The peaks of acetylene and ethylene were also confirmed by GC-MS (Shimadzu, Japan). All the experiments were performed in triplicates.

The selected anammox species (“Ca. B. sinica”, “Ca. K. stuttgartiensis” and “Ca. Scalindua sp.”) were transferred into 30 mL of the inorganic medium in 100 mL serum vials containing 70 mL headspace. The residual DO was removed and the headspace was exchanged with highly pure helium gas (99.9999% He) at 1.5 atm as described above. O2 gas (99%, 200 µL) was injected into the headspace with a gas tight syringe 3 h before the addition of 15NH4Cl and Na14NO2 (final concentration of 3 mM each). Thereafter, the vials were incubated at room temperature (ca. 25 °C). The air samples were taken from the headspace over the course of the incubation time, and 14+15N2 and O2 concentrations were measured by a gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS, SHIMADZU). The O2 concentrations (%) were converted to DO concentration using the standard curves of the measured DO concentrations vs. the headspace O2 concentrations (%, v/v) (Fig. S1) as described above. The O2 reduction rates were determined by dividing the slope of linear regression of DO concentration as a function of time by the protein concentration and are expressed as µmole DO per g-protein per hour.

The concentrations of SCFAs (acetate, propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, valerate, and isovalerate) in feces were determined according to the previous method [40 (link)]. Samples (20 mg) were resuspended into 500 μL saturated NaCl solution, and then 20 μL sulfuric acid (10%) was added for acidification. SCFAs were extracted by adding 1000 μL diethyl ether. The mixture was centrifuged (12,000× g, 4 °C, 15 min), and the aqueous content was removed by adding 0.25 g Na2SO4. SCFAs were quantified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (Shimadzu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) using the external standard method.

The total limonene yield was calculated by adding yields of each day together.

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.
