Feeding Regime for First-Feeding Larvae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The first-feeding larvae (7 dph) were fed the slurry-type diet, which consisted of 200 mg of G. frondosa extract and 2 g maltose (Wako, Tokyo, Japan) diluted in a measuring cylinder to 10 mL with 0.8% xanthan gum (Wako). For the control, 2 g maltose (Wako) diluted in a measuring cylinder to 10 mL with 0.4% xanthan gum (Wako) was supplied.
About 2,000 larvae at 7 dph, the duration of first feeding, were moved to a 10-L acrylic tank and fed the slurry-type diet on the bottom of the tank as described by Tanaka et al. [1] . After 15 min the feed was washed out. Subsequently, approximately 100–200 larvae were sampled after 10, 20, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, and 8 h into RNAlater (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) and stored at −20°C until required.

Analyzing Pullulan Hydrolysis by Recombinant PulB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hydrolysis products produced by the recombinant PulB protein were analyzed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The recombinant PulB (0.4 μM) was incubated with 0.25% pullulan (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), maltotriose (Nakarai tesque, Kyoto, Japan), maltose (Wako, Osaka, Japan), and glucose (Wako) in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.2) at 37°C for 24 h. Five microliter aliquots of each reaction mixture were spotted onto a Silica gel 60 TLC plate with concentrating zone (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The plate was developed with a 2-propanol/acetic acid/water (4:1:1) solvent system. The plates were dried and sprayed with orcinol-sulphuric acid reagent. The plate was heated at 120°C for 10 min.

MCD4 was cultured on Yeast extract Peptone Dextrose (YPD) agar (1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% polypeptone, 2.0% glucose, and 2.0% agar) at 30 °C for 12 h, and then subcultured on sporulation agar (1.0% potassium acetate, 0.1% yeast extract, 0.05% glucose, and 2.0% agar) at room temperature for 1 week. Cell suspension was prepared in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) containing Zymolyase (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan), and after incubation at 30 °C for 1 h, spores were separated using a micromanipulator (Microdissector, Axio Lab, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). The isolates derived from the spores were regarded as MCD4 haploid. The MCD4 haploid isolates were inoculated on maltose minimal agar (2.0% maltose (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan), 0.67% Yeast Nitrogen Base without amino acids (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), and 2.0% agar) containing 0.08% 2-DOG and cultured at 30 °C for 10 days. The isolates that could form colonies were determined to be 2-DOG-resistant.

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.
