For SEM observations, C. albicans were incubated on sterile polyvinyl chloride coverslips (with a thickness of 0.13–17 mm and a diameter of 22 mm) in 12-well microtiter plates (Corning Costar; Sigma-Aldrich) with FEN (MIC value), fluconazol (MIC value) and untreated cells for 24 hr at 37℃. Thereafter, the coverslip were washed twice with sterile PBS (0.1M and pH 7.2) and placed in a primary fixative solution (glutaraldehyde 0.15 M 2.5% [vol/vol] in PBS) for 12 hr at 4℃. The samples were then washed with sterile PBS, then treated with the secondary fixative (osmium tetroxide [OsO4 1% w/v]) for 1 hr. The samples were subsequently washed with distilled water, dehydrated in an ethanol series (70% for 10 min, 95% for 10 min, and 100% for 20 min) and air dried overnight in a desiccator [20 (link)21 (link)]. The coverslip was coated twice with platinum vanadium using a sputter ion (Bal-Tec SCD 005; BAL-TEC, Balzers, Liechtenstein), followed by bonding to carbon double-side tape for examination by SEM (JEOL JED-2300; JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).

The acidity of the catalysts was tested by the gravimetric method using NH3 gas as a basic adsorbate. The amount of nickel present in the catalyst was determined by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer PinAAcle 900 T). The amorphous structure of SBA-15 was analyzed by an X-ray Diffractometer (Rigaku Miniflex 600) using Cu Kα radiation (0.154060 Å). The measurement conditions were in the range of 2θ = 20–80°. The particle sizes of Ni and NiO can be calculated by using the Scherrer equation. The morphology of catalyst surface was characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (JEOL JED 2300) with an electron beam of 15.0 kV. TEM images were determined by a JEOL-JEM-1400 microscope with an electron beam of 120 kV. The pore characteristics (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) of the catalysts were tested by using a gas adsorption analyzer (Quantachrome NovaWin version 11.0).

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.
