The bone powder fermentation broth was centrifuged at 300× g for 10 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was collected to measure the total calcium content by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICPOES730, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The total calcium content in the fermentation broth is recorded as ω mg/L. Then, 5 mL of fermentation broth was taken in a centrifuge tube and 25 mL of anhydrous ethanol was added to precipitate the protein and peptide. After centrifugation at 10,000 r/min for 10 min, the supernatant and precipitate were obtained. The precipitate was dried at 35 °C and the calcium content in the precipitate was determined using ICP (inductively coupled plasma), which was denoted as protein/peptide-bound calcium ω1 mg/L. Free calcium content in the supernatant was determined by calcium ion selective electrode (PXSJ-216F, Shanghai INESA Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China), and the amount of free calcium ions is recorded as ω2 mg/L. The content of organic acid complexed calcium in the fermentation broth is recorded as ω3 and calculated based on the equation of ω3 = ω − ω1− ω2.

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.
