Microplastic Sampling Quality Control

Exposure times during all stages of sample collection and processing
were limited. Samples were covered at all times with clean jar lids, aluminum
foil or glass eyewashes. All glassware and equipment used in this study were
cleaned with Decon-90, rinsed three times with tap water followed by a final
rinse using filtered water (0.45 μm cellulose nitrate, Whatman). In the
field and lab, only 100% cotton clothing and white lab coats were worn. All
samples were filtered inside a clean air cabinet and covered during filtration.
Filters were immediately placed in clean Petri dishes until after initial visual
inspection. Once all fibers/questionable particles were recorded, lids were
removed to access suspect particles for verification.
Two wet peroxide oxidation controls using filtered water (0.45 μm
cellulose nitrate, Whatman) were processed identical to our environmental
samples to estimate procedural contamination. In addition, air contamination
controls were conducted during lab processing and filtering of samples
(n = 4). Filters moistened with filtered water (0.45
μm cellulose nitrate, Whatman) were exposed to the air next to where
vacuum filtration occurred for 30 minutes.

A complete filtration system of 25 mm (Product no. 073-0Q7724, Scharlab) was used for filtration. The filters assessed were polycarbonate cyclopore track etched (Catalogue no. 7060-2504, Whatman), nylon (Catalogue no. 7404-002, Whatman), cellulose acetate (Catalogue no. 10404006, Whatman), cellulose nitrate (Catalogue no. 10401106, Whatman), and mixed cellulose ester (Ref. HAWP02500, Merck Millipore Ltd), in all instances 0.45-μm pore size and 25-mm diameter. The magnetic actuation was achieved with the 16-tube magnet (Product no. 12321D, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The electrochemical readout was achieved on carbon screen-printed electrodes (ref. DRP-C110) using a portable bipotentiostat DRP-STAT200 operated by DropView 200 for instrument control and data acquisition (Dropsens, Spain). The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken with the EVO MA-10 (with EDS Detector, Oxford LINCA).

Production of Bacterial and Fungal Biocontrol Agents

Preparation of cultural filtrates of each bacterial biocontrol agent was carried out using sterilized nutrient glucose (2%) broth medium (3 g beef extract, 5 g peptone, 20 g glucose in one liter distilled water, pH 7.2) in 250 ml flasks. Each flask was separately inoculated with 1 ml of 48-h-old-culture of each bacterial agent. Three flasks were used as replicates for each bacterial antagonist. The inoculated flasks were incubated at 28 ± 2 °C for 48 h under static conditions. Each bacterial culture was centrifugated at 2038 × g for 15 min; then, the supernatant was filtered through filter paper (Whatman No.1) and finally sterilized by filtration through sterile 0.45 μm membrane filter (cellulose nitrate, Whatman). The bacterial filtrates were then kept at -20 °C until used (Abd-El-Khair and Haggag 2007) .
Preparation of cultural filtrates of each Trichoderma spp. was made using sterilized potato glucose 2% broth medium (200 ml potato extract and 20 g glucose in one liter distilled water) in 250 ml flasks. Each flask was separately inoculated with 1 cm-diameter disc of one-weekold culture of each Trichoderma spp. The inoculated

All stock solutions were prepared at the Environmental Geochemistry Group at the University of Bayreuth. A glovebox (COY, N2/H2 95/5% (v/v)) was used for preparation of solutions. Stock solutions of ammonium molybdate ((NH4)2MoO4, Sigma-Aldrich), ammonium tetrathiomolybdate ((NH4)2MoS4, Sigma-Aldrich), and sodium sulfide nonahydrate (Na2S•9H2O, Sigma-Aldrich) were prepared with N2-purged ultrapure water (Merck, Millipore, 18.2 mΩ•cm, 7 ppb total organic carbon at 25°C). The MoS4 2-stock solution was filtered (0.2 µm, celluloseacetate filter, Membrex or cellulose-nitrate, Whatmann) to remove insoluble particles, flash-frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen immediately after preparation to ensure stability. 38 Aliquots were thawed directly before starting the experiments to minimize alteration. All pipette tips (Sarstedt) and screw cap vials (1.5 mL glass (VWR), 2 mL PP (Hartenstein), and 10 mL PP (Sarstedt)) were acidcleaned with 3 M HCl (Grüssing) for 24 h and rinsed with ultrapure water.

Fungal Growth with Pb and P Sources

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A. niger and P. javanicus were chosen as test organisms for detailed experiments.
These were grown in MCD amended with 5 mM Pb(NO3)2 and 30 mM G2P or 5 mM PyA as sole phosphorus sources in 250-ml conical flasks containing 100 ml nutrient medium on an orbital shaking incubator at 125 rpm at 25°C in the dark. Pb(NO3)2, G2P and PyA were dissolved separately in Milli-Q water and sterilized by membrane filtration (cellulose nitrate, 0.2 µm pore diameter, Whatman, Maidstone, Kent, UK) and added to autoclaved MCD medium (121 o C, 15 min) at room temperature, to give 5 mM Pb(NO3)2, 30 mM G2P and 5 mM PyA final concentrations. All experiments were conducted at least 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.
