X. perforans strain GEV485 was used for the viability assay. Bacterial cells were incubated in nutrient broth at 28 °C on a shaker at 300 rpm for 16 h and harvested in the log phase. Bacterial cells were pelleted by centrifugation (5000 rpm for 10 min) and resuspended in 0.01 M MgSO4·7H2O, and the suspensions were adjusted to A600 = 0.3 (~5 × 108 CFU/mL). Then, 500 μL of the bacterial suspension were transferred to 4.5 mL of Kocide® 3000 (DuPont, Wilmington, DE, USA) at 1000 µg/mL. Sterilized tap water served as the control. The tubes were incubated at 28 °C on a shaker at 300 rpm for 4 h. After washing with 1 mL of 0.85% NaCl twice, 1 mL samples from each tube were stained using the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability kit (L7007, Molecular Probes (Eugene, OR, USA), Invitrogen (Waltham, MA, USA)). The stain was a mixture of 1.5 mL Component A and 1.5 mL Component B. Following addition, the sample was incubated in darkness for 15 min at room temperature. Micrographs were taken with a Nikon Eclipse Ti inverted microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) at ×40 fluorescent optics using NIS-Elements imaging software (Ver. 3.0; Nikon). The dead cell/all cell ratio was calculated by ImageJ [34 (link)].

Characterization of Copper Nanomaterials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Cu particles used in this study include nanoparticulate CuO (denoted nCuO), micron-sized Cu and CuO (denoted bulk Cu and CuO respectively; all obtained from Sigma Aldrich), nanoparticulate Cu (US Research Nanomaterials, denoted nCu), Kocide 3000 (Dupont, Wilmington, DE), and CuPRO 2005 (SePRO, Carmel, IN). Reagent grade CuCl2 salt was obtained from Sigma Aldrich. The size and surface charge of particles at pH 7 (0.5 mM phosphate buffer) were determined by measuring hydrodynamic diameter (HDD) and zeta (ζ) potential using a Zetasizer Nano-ZS90 (Malvern, UK). A previous study33 showed that phosphate buffer, at the concentration used, had only minimal effects on zeta potential measurements. Primary particle size and morphology were determined via scanning electron microscopy (FEI XL40 Sirion) equipped with an Oxford INCA energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) probe. Copper content (wt. %) of each particle was determined via ICP-AES (iCAP 6300, Thermo Scientific).34 (link), 35 The main copper phase and crystal structure of particles were determined via X-ray diffraction (XRD, Bruker D8 Advance).
Cu NPs/compounds’ suspensions/solutions were prepared at 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg/L in modified Hoagland’s nutrient solution36 (link) and homogenized by sonication in a water bath (Crest Ultrasonics, Trenton, NJ) at 25 °C for 30 min. There were four replicates per treatment.

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.
