Stock K802NR strain was grown on LB-agar plates (Difco Luria-Bertani medium, BD) containing 100 μg mL–1 ampicillin for 48 h at 37 °C in an incubator (Binder, Camarillo, CA, USA). A single colony from the LB-agar plates was selected and introduced into a 10 mL LB medium containing 100 μg mL–1 ampicillin and grown overnight at 37 °C with shaking (140 rpm) on a rotary thermo-shaker (Gerhardt, Konigswinter, Germany) to provide aeration. Then, a 20 mL fresh portion of LB medium without antibiotic was inoculated with 20 μL of the inoculum from the overnight culture and re-grown at 30 °C for about 4 h until the early log phase (OD600 ≈ 0.2) without shaking. The OD600 was determined by Ultrospec 2100 pro spectrophotometer (Amersham, Berks, UK). As for the PAO-JP2 (pKD-rhlA) strain, it was introduced from the stock on LB-agar plates (Difco Luria-Bertani medium, BD) containing 300 μg mL–1 trimethoprim for 24 h at 37 °C in the incubator (Binder, Camarillo, CA, USA). From the LB-agar plates, a single colony was picked and introduced into 10 mL LB medium supplemented with 300 μg mL–1 trimethoprim and grown overnight at 37 °C with shaking (140 rpm) on a rotary thermo-shaker (Gerhardt, Konigswinter, Germany). The respective LB-agar plates containing K802NR and PAO-JP2 (pKD-rhlA) strains were stored at 4 °C for future use.

The F. nucleatum strain added to the cell cultures at a human cell:bacterial cell ratio of 1:100. F. nucleatum were grown in Columbia blood agar supplemented with 5 mg/mL hemin, 5% defibrinated sheep blood, and 1 mg/mL vitamin K1 and cultured overnight at 37°C under anaerobic conditions. The commensal E. coli strain DH5a propagated in Difco Luria-Bertani medium (BD Biosciences, California, USA) and cultured overnight at 37°C under anaerobic conditions.

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.
