Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A press and sensor machine (EA-6, Laurel Electronics, Costa Mesa, CA, USA) was
used to measure the total gas (TG). The pH was determined using the Schott
® Instrumets Lab 860 (SI Analytics GmbH, Mainz, Germany)
after opening each serum bottle. Samples of fermentation were also collected in
1.5 mL cryotubes and deep frozen at −80°C. These samples were
later thawed at room temperature and then centrifuged at 13,000×g for 15
min at 4°C using a Micro 17TR centrifuge (Hanil Science Industrial,
Incheon, Korea) and the supernatant was used for ammonia nitrogen
(NH3-N) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) analysis [22 (link)]. Using the Libra S22 spectrophotometer
(Biochrom, Cambridge, UK) at an absorbance of 630 nm, NH3-N
concentration was measured according to the methods developed by Chaney and
Marbach [25 (link)]. VFA were analyzed using
high performance liquid chromatography (Agilent Technologies1200 series, Agilent
Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with a UV detector (210 nm and 220 nm) and a
Metacarb87H (Agilent Technologies) column using 0.0085 N
H2SO4 as a buffer at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min and
temperature column of 35°C. The DM disappearance in the rumen was
calculated according to the protocol of Van Emon et al. [26 (link)]. For NDF and acid detergent fiber (ADF) analysis, ANKOM
220 Fiber Analyzer (AnkomTechnology) based on the Van Soest et al. [20 (link)] method was used.

For the characterization of RHE, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed. For hydrolysis, 0.5 g of the rice husk was weighed (previously ground and sifted) and placed in a flask to which 5 mL of H2SO4 at 72% was added. The samples were agitated manually for 1 h at 30 °C. After the agitation of the samples, water was added to dilute the acid to 4%. Post-hydrolysis, the sample content in the flasks was autoclaved for 1 h at 121 °C. After the treatment, the samples were filtered, and the solid part of the samples was dried for 24 h and weighed for the determination of the amount of Klason lignin present in the rice husk. The liquid phase of the sample was filtered through a 0.45 µm nylon filter for the injection of the sample into the HPLC system (Agilent 1260 Infinity II, Ratingen, Germany). The analysis was performed on Metacarb 87H (300 mm × 7.8 mm, Agilent, Ratingen, Germany) at temperature of 60 °C with a 0.7 mL/min flow rate of 0.005 mol/L sulfuric acid as the mobile phase. Xylose, arabinose, glucose, and acetic acid were determined and related to the polysaccharides present in the rice husk [36 (link)].

Formic acid conversion was calculated using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). Liquid samples of the reaction mixture were withdrawn periodically (0.1 ml), diluted to 10 ml using deionised water and analysed by HPLC, Agilent 1220 Infinity LC using a column Agilent MetaCarb 87H 250 × 4.6 mm at 60 °C equipped with an variable wavelength detector (VWD) at 210 nm. The eluent was an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (0.1 wt%) and the flow rate was set to 0.4 ml min−1. Succinic acid was used as an external standard for the quantification of formic acid (Fig. S1A).

Quantification of Fermentation Byproducts

Glucose, galactose, fucose, formic acid, acetic acid, HMF, furfural and bioethanol were analyzed via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using an Agilent 1260 Infinity II Perkin Elmer(USA) equipped with a refractive index detector and a MetaCarb 87H column (300 mm x 7.8 mm, Agilent). The mobile phase was 5 mM H2SO4 set at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min at 60 °C and the injection volume was 20 µL. Authentic standards of each compound of interest over a concentration range of 0 -10 g/L were employed to generate calibration curves and were used for reference and quantification (Pino et al., 2018) . Prior to HPLC analysis, all samples were filtered through a 0.45 μm nylon filter.

Silage Quality Evaluation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Silage pH and ammonia-N were measured using pH meter (SevenEasy; Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland) and the colorimetric method described by Chaney and Marbach [11 (link)], respectively. The silage extraction was centrifuged at 5,645×g for 15 min to separate supernatant from silage residue. Collected supernatant was used for lactate and VFA analyses. The concentrations of lactate and VFA were determined using HPLC (L-2200; Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) fitted with a UV detector (L-2400; Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) and a column (Metacarb 87H; Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA) according to the method described by Muck and Dickerson [12 (link)].

After the enzymatic hydrolysis of BSGEF, total phenol (TP) content was determined by the Folin–Ciocalteau method, using gallic acid as standard, and the results were expressed in mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g BSGEF. The antioxidant activity (AA) was analyzed by the DPPH method, as described by Fernandes et al. (2019) (link), and the results were expressed in µmol Trolox equivalents (TE)/g BSGEF. The released reducing sugars (glucose, xylose, and arabinose) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography using a Jasco830-IR intelligent refractive-index detector with a Varian MetaCarb 87H column. The column was eluted with 0.005 M H2SO4, and the flux was settled at 0.7 ml min−1 at 60°C. The results for each sugar and total released reducing sugars (sum of glucose, xylose, and arabinose) were expressed as mg g−1 BSGEF.

To determine whether the three isolates use glucose as a carbon source for conversion to lactic acid, the isolates were cultured in MRS broth containing 2% glucose at 28°C for 2 days. The bacterial cultures were centrifuged and the supernatant were collected. Each supernatant was filtered through a 0.45-μm cellulose acetate filter for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

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.
