Characterization of Methylobacterium radiotolerans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Low viscosity sodium alginate (A1112), Schiff's fuchsin sulfite reagent, sodium metabisulfite, periodic acid, glutamic acid, and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, succinic acid, ammonium hydroxide, SYTO9 nucleic acid stain, propidium iodide, and isopropanol were purchased from Fisher (Fair Lawn, NJ). Bacto soytone was purchased from BD Difco BBL (Houston, TX). MilliQ water with a minimum resistivity of 18 MΩ-cm (Millipore, Billerica, MA) was used for all experiments.
The pink-pigmented methylobacteria used in this study were provided by NewLeaf Symbiotics Inc. (St Louis, MO). The strain is deposited at the Northern Regional Research Labs as NRRL Accession #B50930. Based on MALDI-TOF and 16S rRNA sequence (Accugenix^® Charles River, Wilmington MA), the isolate was designated as Methylobacterium radiotolerans. Whole genome sequence information (Ilumina Hi-Seq, MOgene Dx, St Louis, MO and Pacific Biosciences, Menlo Park), coupled with ANI score analysis suggests that this strain is closely related to the type strain designated as M. radiotolerans.

β-Cyclodextrin Purification and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

β-cyclodextrin (catalog no. C-4767, purity > 97%) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Company (St. Louis, MO). Initial batches of β-cyclodextrin that we had stored for over a year showed some evidence of aggregation^{41 (link)} in newly made concentrated solutions that had stood for on the order of an hour or more, based on slight clouding and confirmatory spectrophotometry, so a new batch was purchased and used for the present experiments. Solutions made from the new lot showed no evidence of aggregation. Thermogravimetric analysis of the initial batch of β-cyclodextrin confirmed Sigma-Aldrich’s specification of 8 mole of water per mole of β-cyclodextrin, and the amounts weighed to achieve a target concentration were adjusted to compensate for the water content. NMR spectroscopy was used to confirm the structure and purity of the new lot of β-cyclodextrin. Succinic acid and NaOH were both obtained from Fisher Scientific through the chemistry stockroom at University of California, San Diego.

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.
