Growth of Delftia acidovorans Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial cultures used were D. acidovorans Cs1-4 wild type (WT), mutant M3 and mutant M6 (Table S1). Also, a transposon mutant of D. acidovorans Cs1-4 that was flagella-free, but retained wild type levels (Table S1), was used in the experiments examining membrane stress and those on OMV/nanopod production. Cultures were routinely grown in mineral salts medium (MSM, [20] (link)) with phenanthrene (1 mg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) as the sole source of carbon and incubated at 28°C with shaking at 150 rpm. For selected experiments, sodium pyruvate (Sigma) was added to MSM as the carbon source instead of phenanthrene. All cultures were started with an inoculum containing 108 cells/mL pre-cultured on phenanthrene, and were established in triplicate for quantitative analyses.

An aliquot of 20 ml hexane: acetone (4:1) was then added into the sample tube. The mixture was vortexed for 1 min and then subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 15 min followed by centrifugation at 2000 x g for 10 min. The organic layer was transferred into 60 ml amber vials after centrifugation. The extraction process of solvent addition, vortexing and centrifugation were repeated two more times and the organic extracts combined followed by concentration to approximately 500 µl.

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.
