NTHi strains used in this study are listed in Table 2. NTHi was routinely grown shaking at 37°C in brain heart infusion (BHI) broth (Becton Dickinson) supplemented with 10 μg ml−1 haemin (Sigma-Aldrich) or 2% Fildes enrichment (Thermo Scientific) and 2 μg ml−1 β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (Merck) (sBHI). Growth on plates was performed on sBHI agar at 37°C + 5% CO2. For experiments with N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) (Sigma-Aldrich) supplementation, bacteria were grown in supplemented RPMI medium as described previously (Coleman et al., 2003 (link)) for ~ 8 generations before use in experiments. Viable bacterial counts were determined by plating serial dilutions in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on sBHI agar plates. Optical density was measured at 620 nm. Escherichia coli was grown in Luria–Bertani (LB) medium (Becton Dickinson). For NTHi mutant libraries, gene deletion mutants, and complemented gene deletion mutants were grown in sBHI containing 100 μg ml−1 spectinomycin (Calbiochem) and/or 7 μg ml−1 kanamycin (Fisher Bioreagents). E. coli containing plasmids were grown in LB containing 50μg ml−1 kanamycin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NAD+ and NADH concentrations were determined using the bioluminescent NAD/NADH-Glo Assay from Promega (Madison, WI). Cells were plated at a density of 1.5–3 × 104 cells per well in 250 μL complete media on 96-well plates. For determining the effects of treatments on NAD+/NADH ratios, cells were left untreated or drugs added, and all cells were incubated for times specified in figures. Nanomolar concentrations of NAD+ and NADH were determined following manufacturer’s instructions by comparison to a standard curve consisting of dilutions of β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (N8285, Sigma).

Precise Quantification of NADH Concentration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to Ma et al.22 (link), the β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH, Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared fresh each time as a stock solution of 428 µM in a 0.2 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5 and stored at 4 °C. The absolute concentration of the free NADH stock solution for calibration was determined prior to use in a NanoDrop 2000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc) at 340 nm. The actual free NADH concentration was calculated based on the Beer-Lambert law A=εbc where A is the readout absorbance; ε is the extinction coefficient of NADH (6.22 at 340 nm); b is the length of light path (1 mm) and c refers to concentration of NADH in the solution.

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.
