Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Streptomyces sp. CMB-CS038, CMB-CS145, CMB-CS143, CMB-CS132, CMB-CS138 were cultivated for approximately 15 days in a petri dish (10 cm) containing ISP-4 agar (Burlington, NC, United States). The ISP-4 agar was extracted with 3:1 EtOAc:MeOH (30 mL) and the organic phase concentrated in vacuo to yield approximately 10 mg of crude extract. A solution of crude extract prepared in MeOH (1 mg/mL) was subjected to HPLC-DAD-ESI(±)MS analysis (Zorbax SB-C8 column, 150 mm × 4.6 mm column, 5 μm, 1 mL/min gradient elution from 90% H2O/MeCN to 100% MeCN over 15 min, with constant 0.05% formic acid modifier). Streptomyces sp. CMB-CS038 was also cultivated in other media: Marine agar (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States), Nutrient Agar (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) and R2A agar (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) to explore the secondary metabolite production capability of this strain.

N-(2-methyl-1-(4-methyl-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-4 yl)propan-2-yl)acrylamide (hydantoin acrylamide, HA) was synthesized by using N-(1,1-Dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)acrylamide (DA, Aldrich), ammonium carbonate (AC, Sigma-Aldrich), potassium cyanide (KCN, Merck) and potassium persulfate (PPS, Acros) as an initiator for polymerizing HA. The woven polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric (120 g/m2, Tg = 75.8 °C, Tm = 256.3 °C, ΔHm (J/g) 50.8, 72.34 % crystallinity) as polyester was used for this study. The contaminants on the fabric were removed by washing it in a domestic laundry machine at 60 °C for 30 min by using a standard detergent. For antibacterial tests, Tryptic soy broth (TSB), Nutrient Broth (NB), and Nutrient Agar (NA) for supporting growth and cultivation of bacteria were supplied by Becton Dickinson. For preparing a buffer solution, NaH2PO4.2H2O (sodium dihydrogen phosphate) and Na2HPO4.12H2O (disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC 25922) was only used as test strains according to ASTM E2149 because Gram-negative bacteria are usually more resistant than Gram- positive. The 99.5 % purity CO2 used in all experiments was purchased from AGA Industrial gases (Lidingo, Sweden).

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.
