Fecal Microbiome Transplant Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The feces of mice in the N + N and Abs+N groups were vortex mixed, respectively, with cysteine (Solarbio, China) and Na2S (Solarbio, China) in corresponding centrifuge tubes (500 mg feces, 2.5 mg cysteine, and 1 mg Na2S in 3 mL bacteria-free PBS). Then, the mixture for each group was centrifuged (500 r·min−1, 1 min) and the supernatant solution was collected. Mice in the FMT-N and FMT-Abs groups received intragastric administration of the supernatant solution from the N + N and Abs+N groups, respectively, (100 μL per mouse).

Roseburia intestinalis L1-82 (DSMZ14610) was purchased from Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany). Bacteroides fragilis (ATCC 25285) and Bacteroides vulgatus were obtained from Ningbo Mingzhou Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang, China). The above bacteria were cultured under anaerobic conditions at 37°C. An anaerobic culture environment was created using Atmosphere Generation Systems (AnaeroJar ASSEMBLY and AnaeroGen, OXOID, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The culture medium (Miquel et al., 2015 (link)) was brain heart infusion (BHI) containing 0.5% yeast extract (OXOID), 1 mg/ml cellobiose (Macklin, China), 1 mg/ml maltose (Solarbio, China), 0.5 mg/ml cellobiose (Macklin, China), and 0.5 mg/ml cysteine (Solarbio, China). We established a standard curve to convert the absorbance values at 600 nm (OD600) to CFU values (Supplementary Figure S1). Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella typhimurium CMCC 50115, Bacillus subtilis DSM 1088, and Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778 were used as controls. These strains were cultured in nutrient broth at 37°C in an aerobic environment.

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.
