Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cultures were carried out on a modified Bloomington semi-defined medium (https://bdsc.indiana.edu/information/recipes/germanfood.html), containing Sucrose (0.15 and 1.0 M in CD and HSD, respectively) as the only purified sugar source. Ingredients were obtained from; Agar (Fisher Scientific; BP2641-1), Brewer’s Yeast (MP Biomedicals; 903312, Lot: BCBN0171V), Yeast Extract (Sigma-Aldrich; 70161), Peptone (Sigma-Aldrich; 82303), Sucrose (Fisher Scientific; S/8560/63), Magnesium sulfate hexahydrate (Fluka; 00627), Calcium chloride dihydrate (Sigma-Aldrich; 223506), Propionic acid (Sigma-Aldrich; P1386), p-Hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (Sigma-Aldrich; H5501). For dietary supplementation experiments, L-proline (Sigma-Aldrich; P5607), D-proline (Sigma-Aldrich; 858919), L-glycine (VWR Chemicals; 101196X), L-alanine (Sigma-Aldrich; 7627), L-tryptophan (Sigma-Aldrich; T0254), Indole-5-carboxylic acid (Sigma-Aldrich; I5400) and IPA (Sigma-Aldrich; 57400) were added to CD or HSD. Cultures were performed at 25 °C unless otherwise noted. HSD feeding led to a developmental delay in reaching the third-instar larval stage; all experiments were performed on late third-instar larvae at day 8 after egg laying (CD) and day 14 after egg laying (HSD) unless otherwise noted.

Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Prolinate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L-lactide (Purac Biochem, Gorinchem, the Netherlands) was purified by recrystallization from dried ethyl acetate (over calcium hydride) before use and thoroughly dried for 24 hours under vacuum at 30°C. Ciprofloxacin, L-proline, D-proline, and zinc acetate were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich, (St Louis, MO, USA). Zinc prolinate (L- and/or D-) was prepared from zinc acetate and L- and/or D-proline33 (link) and dried to a constant weight before use. 1-dodecanol and glycerol were distilled under reduced pressure. Pentaerythritol was purified by sublimation under reduced pressure. All other chemicals and solvents were analytical-grade from SD Fine (Mumbai, India) and were used without further purification. Double-distilled water was used in all experiments.

l-Proline (purity >98.5%), d-proline (purity ≥99%) and l-alanine (purity >98.5%) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Solutions were made by dissolving additives in culture media (details of culture media below). All amino acid solutions were sterile filtered with 0.2 μm syringe filters before application to cells. Filters were obtained from Fisher.

Proline Concentration Effect on FTIR Spectra

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aqueous 100 mM ammonium acetate solutions of L-proline and D-proline (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were prepared such that the proline concentration varied by a factor of ~105. Racemic solutions were prepared from aliquots of standard solutions containing the different enantiomers. For the FTIR studies, samples were dried to remove all H2O and samples were reconstituted in 100 mM ammonium acetate in deuterium oxide (D2O) to the desired proline concentrations.

Quantitative Proline Determination in Leaf Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proline content was determined according to Bates et al. (1973) (link). Briefly, 200 mg of leaf samples were ground using liquid nitrogen and homogenized in 3% sulfosalicylic acid followed by centrifugation at 12,000 g for 10 min. One ml of homogenate was taken and mixed with 1 ml of acid-ninhydrin and 1 ml of glacial acetic acid in a test tube for 1 h in a water bath at 100°C and then kept on ice to terminate the reaction. Then, 2 ml toluene was added to the reaction mixture with vigorous mixing and left at room temperature for 30 min until the separation of the two phases. The optical density of the chromophore-containing toluene (upper phase) was measured spectrophotometrically at 520 nm. The proline concentration was determined from a standard curve using D-Proline (Sigma-Aldrich, U.S.A.).

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.
