Lipidomic Analysis of Spirulina

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lipid analysis of dry spirulina was performed by Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA). Modified Bligh and Dyer extractions (Bligh and Dyer 1959) were performed with EquiSPLASH™ Lipidomix™, and Lipidyzer™ standards (Avanti Polar Lipids), and different chain lengths of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylinositol (Avanti Polar Lipids) were added as internal standards (IS). Total lipids were dried then resolvated in 1 mL of 1:1 methylene chloride:methanol. Samples were injected in triplicate without dilution for LC-MS analysis. The methodology used was hydrophophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), which separates lipids into classes and subclasses that span a narrow retention time window (Hines et al. 2017) . A standard of 18:1 cholesterol ester was used as an IS for stigmasterols and brassicasterols. Data are presented as ng/mg of sample. Values were calculated using a point calibration determined by multiplying area ratio averages for the analyte to IS and multiplying by the concentration of IS.

The membrane was blocked with 4% BSA for 1 h at room temperature, and then incubated with GST-tagged SAD-A proteins for 4 h at 4 °C. After extensive washing with PBS buffer, the bound proteins were detected by immunoblotting analysis with an anti-GST antibody (1:5,000; Sigma-Aldrich, G1160).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Competition assays with exogenous ergosterol and phospholipids were performed as previously described[63] with modifications. C. albicans cell suspensions (≈106 CFU mL−1) were prepared as described for time‐kill assays to which increasing concentrations (up to 100 µg mL−1) of exogenous ergosterol or the phospholipids phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, or cardiolipin (Avanti Polar Lipids, AL, USA) were added. Increasing concentrations of MM were then added to each ergosterol‐ and phospholipid‐treated sample. After a 30‐min dark incubation, the samples were irradiated with 405‐nm light (87.6 J cm−2) as previously described. Buffered RPMI 1640 medium was then added to the irradiated samples. After incubation at 30 °C for 48 h, samples were examined for growth to determine the MM MIC.

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.
