We used Canon Rebel T3i (Canon Inc. (Ōta, Tokyo, Japan)) to capture macroscopic images and then stitched them into timelapse movies using Persecond for Mac version 1.5 (Flixel Inc. (Toronto, Canada)). For all the timelapses reported in our study, we used a remote control to automatically capture an image every 4 min and published the movie files at 16 fps.

Imaging Methods for Specimen Documentation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The single known specimen is preserved as part and counterpart and required special imaging methods for viewing and documentation. A broad habitus view of the entire specimen was provided by combining separate images into a composite form. Each component image was taken from separate focal planes that subsequently were integrated by CombineZM® from a series of images. These different images then were stitched with Adobe Photoshop® CS 3 software under cross-polarized light with a Canon Rebel T3i camera equipped with a MP-E 65 mm lens and a MT 24 EX Canon Twin Flash. For comparison of the specimen to earlier studies that used standard light-microscopy, fully reflected vertical light as well as directed side light from different angles was used. In order to document specimen relief, two techniques were applied. The first approach was stereo-imaging that employed the Canon Rebel T3i camera. A second procedure involved virtual surface reconstruction resulting from stacks of images recorded on a Zeiss Axiophot microscope attached to a Skopetech DCM 510 camera. Cross-polarized light was provided by multiple, optical-fiber light sources. Virtual surfaces were calculated in Image Analyzer® software.

High-Throughput Screening of E. coli Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The E. coli Keio Knockout Collection 26 (two independent clones per mutant) was arrayed in 1536-format in LB agar plates using a Rotor HDA (Singer Instruments) as previously described 29 (link). The growth of each mutant was estimated by colony opacity 44 (link) after 13 hours incubation at 37°C in the absence and presence of vanillin (200 µg/ml), spectinomycin (4 µg/ml), and their combination. All plates were imaged under controlled lighting conditions (spImager S&P Robotics) using an 18-megapixel Canon Rebel T3i (Canon). Experiments were done in biological triplicates. Fitness of each mutant was calculating by dividing the growth in condition (vanillin, spectinomycin or both) by the growth in LB, after correcting for outer-frame plate effects 44 (link). Bliss scores were calculated as per Eq. 1 per replicate and then averaged (Supplementary Table 7)

The E. coli KEIO collection 29 was arrayed on solid agar plates in 1536 format, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 30 hours. Medium used was LB 0% NaCl supplemented with 40 µg/ml Congo red (CR) and 20 µg/ml Coomassie blue.
The S. Typhimurium single gene deletion library 55 (link) was arrayed on solid agar plates in 384 format, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 48 hours. Medium composition was the same as for E. coli.
The P. aeruginosa PA14 single deletion transposon library 30 (link) was arrayed on solid agar plates in 384 format, and plates were incubated at room temperature. Medium used was TB (Tryptone Broth) supplemented with 20 µg/ml CR and 10 µg/ml Coomassie blue.
All plates were imaged under controlled lighting conditions (spImager S&P Robotics Inc.) using a 18 megapixel Canon Rebel T3i (Canon Inc. USA).

Photomorphogenic Apical Hook Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seedlings were grown in a light-sealed box equipped with an infrared light source (880 nm LED) and a spectrum-enhanced camera (EOS035 Canon Rebel T3i) modified by Hutech technologies with a built-in, clear, wideband-multicoated filter. The camera was operated by EOS utility software. For light exposure experiments, 40 hours after germination (hooks in maintenance phase) the box was opened and a light source (4 µmoles/m2/s) was placed in front of the plate. Angles between the cotyledons and the hypocotyl axis were measured every 3 hours in dark and every hour during light exposure until complete opening using ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) software. The outer angle of the apical hook is reported in the graphs. Representative experiments are shown. At least 3 independent experiments were performed and sample size is indicated in the figure legends.

High-throughput Screening of Bacterial Fitness

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each strain probed, a single source plate was generated and transferred to the final screening plate using a pinning robot (Biomatrix 6). Chemical perturbations (1% SDS; 0.25 mM and 0.5 mM EDTA; 0.25% SDS and 0.25 mM EDTA; pH 4.8; pH 8.2; 0 mM NaCl; 600 mM NaCl; 50 µg/mL vancomycin) were added to the LB agar or adjusted before dispensing into the plates. MMT buffer (1:2:2 molar ratio of d,l-malic acid, MES, and Tris base) was added to the media adjusted to pH 4.8 and 30 mM HEPES-KOH buffer to pH 8.2. On each screening assay plate, the parental strain, the single mutants, and the double mutants were arrayed, each in approximately 20 replicates per plate. The plates were incubated at 37°C (or for three conditions at 18°C, 25°C, and 42°C) for ~18 h and imaged under controlled lighting conditions (S&P Robotics) using an 18-megapixel Canon Rebel T3i (Canon). Colony size of endpoint images was quantified as fitness readout using the image analysis software Iris. Fitness ratio and statistical analysis were carried out by ChemGAPP as described below.

Angle Measurement of Cotyledon Closure

Seedlings were grown in a light-protected box equipped with an infrared light source (880 nm LED) and a spectrum-enhanced camera (EOS035 Canon Rebel T3i) modified by Hutech technologies with a built-in, clear, wideband-multicoated filter. The camera was operated by EOS utility software. Angles between the cotyledons and the hypocotyl axis were measured every 3 h in the dark until opening using ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) software. The complementary angle of the measured angle is reported in the graphs (180° represents full closure and 0° full opening). More information can be found in ref. 1 .

Genetic Interaction Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genetic interaction assay was performed as described in Banzhaf et al., 2020 (link). For each probed strain, a single source plate was generated and transferred to the genetic interaction plate using a pinning robot (Biomatrix 6). On each genetic interaction assay plate, the parental strain, the single deletion A, the single deletion B and the double deletion AB were arrayed, each in 96 copies per plate. Genetic interaction plates were incubated at 37°C for 12 hr and imaged under controlled lighting conditions (spImager S and P Robotics) using an 18-megapixel Canon Rebel T3i (Canon). Colony integral opacity as fitness readout was quantified using the image analysis software Iris (Kritikos et al., 2017 (link)). Fitness ratios were calculated for all mutants by dividing their fitness values by the respective WT fitness value. The product of single mutant fitness ratios (expected) was compared to the double mutant fitness ratio (observed) across replicates. The probability that the two means (expected and observed) are equal across replicates is obtained by a Student's two‐sample t‐test.

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.
