Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The minimal medium for PHA production contained, except otherwise stated (g L−1): 3.5 NaNH4HPO4.4H2O (Sigma Aldrich, Germany); 5.7 K2HPO4, 3.7 KH2PO4, and 10 mM carboxylic acid puriss i.e. C8:0, C12:0, C16:0 and C18:1 (Sigma Aldrich, Germany) at pH 7.0 (± 0.1). The pure carboxylic acid was used a sole carbon and energy source during the fermentation. Sterile 1.0% (v/v) Mg2SO4.7H2O solution and 0.1% (v/v) trace elements (MT) solution containing (g L−1): CaCl2.2H2O 1.47, CoCl2.6H2O 2.38, CuCl2.2H2O 0.17, FeSO4.7H2O 2.78, MnCl2.4H2O 1.98 and ZnSO4.7H2O 0.29 dissolved in 1 M HCl were aseptically and separately added prior to inoculum seeding. 3% (v/v) of harvested biomass suspended in phosphate buffer was seeded into this medium aseptically and then incubated at 30 °C, 250 rpm for a total period of 48 h except otherwise stated.

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.
