Two concentrations of lactose and potassium nitrate were tested for a pool of strains in preliminary tests.
lactose fermentation was tested in a modified API 50CH medium containing the following: lactose 5 or 20 g.L−1 (Panreac, Lyon, France), tryptone 10 g.L−1, yeast extract 5 g.L−1, K2HPO4, 0.25 g.L−1, MnSO4 0.05 g.L−1, and bromocresol purple 0.17 g.L−1. The medium was inoculated using 1% (v/v) of 48-h cultures in YEL, and incubated at 30 °C under anaerobiosis (using the Anaerocult A system, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). The production of acid from lactose was determined from the colour change of bromocresol purple from purple to yellow after 2, 5, and 7 days of incubation.
Nitrate reductase activity was detected by means of the Griess reagent (Biomérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) after incubation of cultures at 30 °C under microaerophilic conditions (air atmosphere without agitation) in a broth containing potassium nitrate, 0.5 or 1.5 g.L−1 (VWR International, Fontenay-sous-Bois, France), tryptone (Biokar Diagnostics, Allone, France) 10 g.L−1, yeast extract (Biokar Diagnostics) 5 g.L−1, and glucose (Grosseron, Saint-Herblain, France) 1 g.L−1, according to Dalmasso et al. (2011 (link)). The results of the tests were read after 2 and 5 days of incubation.
All the tests were carried out in triplicate.

Accurel MP1004, a porous polypropylene homopolymer powder with a particle size lesser than 0.4 mm, was purchased from Membrana GmbH (Obenburg, Germany). We purchased p-nitrophenyl palmitate (pNPP) and oleic acid (95%) from Sigma Aldrich (St Louis, Mo, USA). Tripalmitin was acquired from Spectrum Chemicals Mfg. Corp. (Gardena, CA, USA), and the coconut and Spanish extra virgin olive oils were bought from a local market. The reagents Bradford dye, acrylamide, and bisacrylamide were purchased from Biorad (Richmond, CA, USA).
We used the autoinducing medium for growth and expression of the recombinant lipase LipA PSA01: tryptone, yeast extract, lactose, glucose, glycerol, lactose, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, ammonium chloride, and magnesium sulfate were purchased from PanReac AppliChem (Barcelona, Spain). All solvents (hexane, ethanol, acetone, 2-propanol, ethyl acetate, and methanol) were acquired from JT Baker (Phillipsburg, NJ, USA). Gas chromatography standards and other chemicals used in this study (sodium, sodium hydroxide, TRIS, acetic acid, HEPES) were analytical reagents obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St Louis, Mo, USA).

The chitosan (Mw ~ 370 kDa, DD 85%) and partially N-acetylated chitosan (Mw ~ 200 kDa, DD ~ 50%) were obtained from the Laboratory of Biopolymer Engineering of Institute of Bioengineering of Federal Research Center "Fundamentals of Biotechnology" of Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Russia). Flake crab shell chitin was provided by BioProgress Co. (Shchelkovo, Russia) and grinded in laboratory mill. Colloidal chitin was prepared from powdered crab shell chitin by modi ed method of Rodriguez-Kabana et al. (1983) . Colloidal chitosan was prepared using the modi ed procedure (Helistö et al. 2001 (link)). N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine, D-glucosamine, p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (p-NP-GlcNAc), p-nitrophenyl-N,N'-diacetyl-β-D-chitobioside (p-NP-GlcNAc 2 ), p-nitrophenol, sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, azokazein, laminarin and xylan from birch were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co., USA. CM-Sepharose Fast Flow was purchased from GE Healthcare (USA). The nutritional components of culture media (tryptone, yeast extract etc.) were obtained from Panreac (Barcelona, Spain) and HiMedia Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. (Mumbai, India). All other reagents, including components for SDS-PAGE, TLC, buffer salts etc. used in the study were quali ed as analytical and high grade.

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.
