Briefly, 1.0 ml of 40 mM Ellman’s reagent (5,5’-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) solution (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany) was added to the sample (86 mM Tris (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), 90 mM glycine (Avantor, Gliwice, Poland), 4 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Avantor, Gliwice, Poland), 8 M urea (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, Serva, Heidelberg, Germany), 0.2 M Tris-HCl (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA)) with pH 8.0. Next, 200 μl of each sample was added to 1.0 ml of DTNB. The samples were incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Cysteine was used (Avantor, Gliwice, Poland) as a standard, and absorbance was measured by a Perkin Elmer spectrophotometer Lambda 25 at a wavelength of λ= 412 nm (Biocompare, Baltimore, MD, USA). The concentration of -SH groups was measured from a calibration curve based on cysteine solution in PBS. The concentration of -SH groups was expressed in micromoles per milligram of whole protein in the ileal supernatant.

Extracted nuclei were cross-linked in 1% formaldehyde (AppliChem) for 5 min and quenched with 125 mM glycine (VWR). Approximately 750,000 nuclei per sample were resuspended in 500 µL PBS-T. Nuclei were stained with 1:50 Alexa Fluor488 conjugated anti-NeuN (Millipore, MAB377X) for 30 min, then washed in PBS-T. Nuclei were stored in 200 µL PBS-T, passed through a 26-G needle, and incubated with Hoechst (1:1,000) before sorting on the FACSAriaIII (BD Bioscience). Sorted NeuN+ nuclei were pelleted (4 °C, 1,250 × g, 5 min) and lysed in 750 µL RIPA buffer for 10 min. Samples were sonicated on an E220 Focused-ultra-sonicator (Covaris) for 20 min (peak power = 140 W, duty = 5, cycle/burst = 200). Low-input ChIP was carried out using the Low Cell ChIP-Seq Kit (Active Motif) using H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729). The Next Gen DNA Library and Indexing Kit (Active Motif) were used to prepare libraries (for details, see SI Appendix). Libraries were resuspended in 25 µL Low EDTA TE buffer then analyzed with the fragment analyzer (NGS High Sensitivity kit, Agilent) and sequenced, paired-end, on the Illumina NextSEq. 500.

Bacterial Hydrogen Cyanide Production Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacteria were tested for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production by adapting the method of Lorck (1948) [42 (link)]. Briefly, the TSA medium was amended with 0.44% glycine (VWR Chemicals, China) and 100 μL (OD600nm = 0.6) of the bacterial culture was flooded on poured agar plates with a sterile swab. A Whatman filter paper was soaked in the picric acid (0.5%) in 2% sodium carbonate for 1 min and placed below the plates’ lids. The plates were closed with parafilm and incubated at 30 °C for 96 h. The color shift of Whatman paper from yellow, conferred by sodium picrate solution, to orange or brown indicates a positive result for HCN production. The experiment was performed in triplicate.

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.
