To test the dependence of G. murorum laccase activity on temperature, enzymatic assays were performed in a 96‐well flat‐wells plate (ThermoFisher Scientific) whose wells were filled with 398 μl of laccase reaction buffer (100 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.5; 0.2 mM ABTS) used in triplicate for the test (enzymatic assays) and control (buffer along) samples. Once the plate was preheated in the plate‐reader (Synergy™ HT Multi‐Detection Microplate Reader; BioTek®; Agilent) to 20°C, 30°C, 40°C or 50°C, 2 μl of G. murorum protein sample (prepared as samples used for zymography) was added to the test samples and the absorbance of all samples was read for 20 min with 1 min intervals.

Total phenolic content of the blueberry pomace extracts was determined using the method of Folin–Ciocalteu following the procedure described by Tournour et al. [42 (link)] with slight modification. Briefly, 25 μL of either sample or standard properly diluted with milliQ water were transferred into appropriate wells. With a multichannel pipet, 125 μL of 0.2 N Folin–Ciocalteu’s reagent were added to each well, then the plate was swirled and incubated in the dark at room temperature. After 8 to 10 min, 125 μL of 7.5% sodium carbonate was added. The obtained solution was mixed thoroughly and incubated at room temperature for 30 min at least and no more than 60 min. Subsequently, the absorbance was recorded at 765 nm with a spectrophotometric microplate reader (Synergy HT Multi-Detection Microplate Reader, BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA). Absorbance was compared to a gallic acid standard curve (R2 = 0.999) to quantify TPC in the sample. The results were expressed as milligrams of gallic acid equivalents per gram of dry matter (mg GAE/g DM). Each standard and sample solution was analysed in triplicate.

The creatinine concentration of each urinary sample was spectrophotometrically quantified using the QuantiChrom™ Creatinine Assay Kit (BioAssay Systems). In this assay, creatinine reacts with picric acid in an alkaline solution forming a yellow orange adduct. The increase in absorbance of this adduct is measured at a wavelength of 510 nm. For the assay, 10 μl of mouse urine was mixed with 200 μl working solution (0.1 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH); 0.3 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); 0.1% (v/v) DMSO; 0.0004% (v/v) Tween®20; and 3 mM picric acid), in duplicate, in a 96-well plate. The samples were then analysed via a Synergy™ HT Multi-detection microplate reader (Biotek® Instruments) by assessing the increase in linear trend of absorbance at 510 nm for 5 min, in 1 min intervals. Absolute quantities were determined by making use of a standard curve, ranging from 0 to 50 mg%.

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.
