Plasmid pRPF215, a Himar1 mariner delivery vector30 (link), was conjugated into R20291 from E. coli SD46 and R20291 transconjugants selected on BHI agars supplemented with 250 µg/ml cycloserine (Matrix Scientific, catalog no. 072929), 8 µg/ml of cefoxitin (Chem-Impex International, catalog no. 01490), and 15 µg/ml thiamphenicol (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog no. T0261). To generate Tn mutants, R20291-pRPF215 was grown overnight in BHI broth with 15 µg/ml thiamphenicol, then subcultured into BHI to OD600nm of 0.2. Himar1 was induced with 100 ng/ml anhydrotetracycline (ATc) (Alfa Aesar, catalog no. J66688) for mutagenesis for overnight (15 h). Tn mutants were selected by spreading culture dilutions onto pre-reduced BHI agar containing 20 µg/ml lincomycin. After incubation (24 h), colonies were collected into 96 deep well plates, to amass 7488 independent colonies. The library was screened for metronidazole-susceptible Tn mutants by growing overnight cultures in BHI containing lincomycin and spotting 2 μl inocula onto BHI agars containing 0.5 µg/ml metronidazole and 5 µg/ml of hemin using a 96-Well Bench Top Pipettor. Presumptive metronidazole-susceptible Tn mutants were confirmed by MIC testing and underwent genome and Sanger sequencing to confirm the insertion sites for ermB. Primers and strain constructs used are listed in the Supplementary Data 2 and 3.

Isolation of Chromosomal Gene Disruption Mutant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate a chromosomal gene disruption mutant, plasmid pSYCP-cpaAIR was first electrotransformed into C. pasteurianum and transformants were selected using 10 μg ml−1 thiamphenicol. Mosaic colonies containing both wild-type and intron insertion cells were identified with two separate PCRs using primers ltrB.Fw + REN.Fw for one chromosome-intron junction and primers ltrB.Rv + REN.Rv for the adjacent junction. One positive colony was selected for enrichment of the intron disruption by repeated subculturing in selective growth medium. Briefly, a sporulated colony was heat-shocked in 10 ml of 2 × YTG medium, cooled on ice, and supplemented with 10 μg ml−1 thiamphenicol (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, Missouri, United States). Following approximately 24 hours of growth, 0.5 ml was used to inoculate a tube of 10 ml 2 × YTG containing 10 μg ml−1 thiamphenicol. This process was repeated every 12 hours for a total of 10 transfers, at which time serial dilutions were plated onto nonselective 2 × YTG agar. To identify a homogeneous gene disruption colony, colony PCR was performed on enrichment colonies using two gene-specific primers flanking the intron insertion site (REN.Fw + REN.Rv).

Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Direct antibacterial activity was determined by the microdilution method as described [36 ]. In practice, 20 mg of each plant extract were dissolved in 100 μL of DMSO and then completed to 5 mL with broth to obtain a stock concentration of 4 mg/mL (2% DMSO). Then, this solution was diluted to obtain an entry concentration of 512 mg/L with a concentration of 0.2% in DMSO. This solution was transferred to the wells of the first column of the 96-well plates (200 μL/well) for serial dilution with Muller-Hinton II (MHII). One hundred (100 μL) of the bacterial suspension (5 × 105 CFU/mL) was added to each well to obtain a final volume of 200 μL, with a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. The plates were incubated for 18 hours at 37 °C without agitation with closed lid. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of samples were observed after the addition 40 µL of 0.2 mg/mL of iodonitrotetrazolium chloride. MIC values were recorded as the lowest concentration of the sample that totally inhibited bacterial growth. The reference antibiotics used in the present work included chloramphenicol, florfenicol, thiamphenicol, ciprofloxacin, cefepime, and ceftazidime (Sigma-Aldrich). Objectives were to detect molecules that were able to modulate the bacterial permeability of the bacterium in terms of penetration and efflux.

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.
