Developing Organic Solvent-Tolerant Bacillus Whole-Cell Cofactor Regenerators

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacillus subtilis 168, previously reported to exhibit an organic solvent-tolerant property (Siriphongphaew et al. 2012 (link)), was selected as a host for development of a whole-cell cofactor regenerator. The gdh fragments were amplified from the plasmid pJET-gdh-bs and pJET-gdh-ba using primers containing restriction sites for BsrGI and KpnI (Table 1; primers no. 3, 6 and 7). After a double digestion with BsrGI and KpnI, the fragments were inserted into a Bacillus expression vector pHP2N. Plasmid pHP2N was constructed based on a plasmid backbone of E. coli-Bacillus shuttle vector pHY300PLK (TaKaRa, Shiga, Japan) with an insertion of a strong P2 promoter from a commercial expression plasmid pNCMO2 (TaKaRa, Shiga, Japan). The resulting plasmids, named as pHGBS and pHGBA, were introduced into B. subtilis 168 by electroporation using a protocol described previously (Siriphongphaew et al. 2012 (link)). Successful transformation was checked by a colony PCR as well as a restriction analysis. The recombinant B. subtilis 168 overexpressing GluDH-BS and GluDH-BA were referred as B. subtilis BS and B. subtilis BA, respectively.

Cultivation and Manipulation of B. choshinensis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B. choshinensis strain HB116 (Takara Bio, Inc.) was used in this study. E. coli DH5α competent cells (Sangon Biotech Co, Ltd.) were used for DNA manipulation. pNCMO2 (Takara Bio, Inc.) and pMD19-T (Takara Bio, Inc.) were used as the vector and subcloning plasmid, respectively. Milk-Tween (MT) medium containing 2% yeast extract, 10% glucose, 10% polypeptone, 5% meat extract, 0.01 % FeSO4·7H2O, 0.001% ZnSO4·6H2O and 0.01% MnSO4·4H2O was used to culture strain HB116. E. coli DH5α cells were cultured in Luria Broth medium (Oxoid; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). NaOH was used to adjust the pH of all media to 7.0. Neomycin (20 µg/ml; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co, Ltd.) was added to the media used to culture bacteria containing pNCMO2 and derivatives.

Cloning a Full-Length Hepatopancreas Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The scallops were purchased from the Nanshan seafood market in Qingdao. The hepatopancreas was dissected by hand from the scallop viscera. Then, the hepatopancreas was ground into powder in liquid nitrogen. Next, the total RNA was extracted from the powder using the Mollusc RNA Kit (Omega Bio-tek, Norcross, GA, USA). A cDNA library of scallop hepatopancreas was constructed by reverse transcription, using the extracted total RNA as a template (RevertAid First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Using the cDNA library as a template, a full-length gene of Lcf without the signal peptide was cloned using the following primers: a forward primer (5′-CGGGATCCGCAGGCTTCCGTGACGATTTCAC-3′) and a reverse primer (5′-CCGCTCGAGTCAATGAGGTATCATCTCTATGTAATC-3′). Target gene fragments were collected using the Gel Extraction Kit (Omega Bio-tek, Norcross, GA, USA), and ligated into the shuttle vector pNCMO2 (Takara, Dalian, China) using the restriction enzymes BamHI and XhoI. Then, the ligation solution was transformed into E. coli JM109. Expression plasmids were extracted using the Plasmid Mini Kit (Omega Bio-tek, Norcross, GA, USA).

(SCRC; Shanghai, China) Cultivation medium and conditions E. coli JM109 was cultured on the Luria broth (LB) medium containing 10.0 g/L tryptone, 5.0 g/L yeast extract, and 10.0 g/L NaCl, with the introduction of 50 mg/L Ampicillin (Amp) to each culture. In the shake-ask culture, the primary inoculum of B. choshinensis was grown for 24 h in the 250-mL ba ed asks containing 50 mL of TM medium at 30 ℃ and 120 rpm in a shaker until OD 600 = 2~3.
Subsequently, the seed culture (0.5 mL) was diluted to 50 mL of medium A in a 250-mL shake ask at 30 ℃ and 120 rpm. The TM medium contained 10.0 g/L glucose, 10.0 g/L tryptone, 5.0 g/L beef extract, 2.0 g/L yeast extract, 10.0 mg/L FeSO

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.
