Strains and media used for this study were essentially the same as previously reported (Graf et al. 2015 (link); Krondorfer et al. 2014b (link)). In short, Escherichia coli strain NEB5α was obtained from New England Biolabs (Ipswich, MA, USA) and Pichia pastoris strain X33 from Invitrogen. For fermenter cultivations, the basal salts medium with 4.35 mL/L PTM1 trace salts was used, which is described in detail by Invitrogen or in Krondorfer et al. (2014b (link)).

Isolation and Cultivation of GAS Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GAS 854 is an M-type 1 strain, isolated from a retroperitoneal abscess (42 (link)). The GAS strains used in this study are listed in Table 1. GAS was grown at 37°C in L3 or THY medium (Todd-Hewitt broth supplemented with yeast extract) as previously described or on Trypticase soy agar supplemented with 5% defibrinated sheep blood (Remel). Escherichia coli strain NEB5α (New England Biolabs) was used for cloning, and E. coli strain BL21 (Sigma) was used for protein expression unless otherwise noted. When necessary, antibiotics were added at the following concentrations: erythromycin was used at 1 µg/ml and 150 µg/ml for GAS and E. coli, respectively, and spectinomycin was used at 50 µg/ml in GAS or E. coli. For infection assays, penicillin was used at 20 µg/ml and gentamicin was used at 200 µg/ml. Ampicillin or carbenicillin was used at 100 µg/ml for E. coli.

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.
