Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Methodology for measurement of the ethidium bromide excluded from bacteria has been previously published [13 ]. Briefly, cultures of P. aeruginosa were grown to logarithmic phase, pelleted, and resuspended at an OD of 0.7. Every 5 m following addition of ethidium bromide (5 μg/ml), 1 ml of culture was removed, pelleted, and the supernatant was analyzed using an excitation wavelength of 530 nm and detection wavelength of 585 nm. A control sample (containing EtBr but no bacteria) allowed normalization of the data and represents the maximal fluorescence intensity (measured as 420 nm and plotted as the ‘zero’ time for each sample). The measurements were performed on a Varian Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer with a 20-nm excitation slit width. Three biological replicates were performed. For measurement of accumulation of ethidium bromide, P. aeruginosa was grown in CM9 to logarithmic phase (OD600 = 0.8) in the presence and absence of 300 μM each PUFA. Bacteria were pelleted, washed with PBS and resuspended in PBS at an OD600 = 0.4. After addition of 20 μM of ethidium bromide, fluorescence measurements were taken every 5 m for 1 h using a Varian Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer with a 10-nm excitation slit width (excitation wavelength of 545 nm, detection wavelength of 600 nm). Two biological replicates were performed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Suspended tobacco cells were treated under various ultrasonic intensities of 160, 320 and 640 W, at 5, 8 and 10 min with 40 kHz frequency using a water bath ultrasound. Bath ultrasound (BANDELIN, sonorex digital 10p) at 40 kHz frequency was applied to tobacco cells to assess the cell viability against ultrasound waves in different ultrasonic intensities and times. Intracellular esterase activity was measured by the determination of fluorescein diacetate (FDA) concentration in the cells by Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer. Application of continuous wave ultrasound was conducted for a total duration of either 5, 8, or 10 min and no pulsed ultrasound was applied (no duty cycle measurement) [43] (link). To measure the cell viability, the method described by Steward et al. was applied [16] (link). Briefly, samples containing tobacco cells treated with ultrasound under the various conditions were diluted (3×) with PBS (0.25 M, pH 8.75). After centrifuging (10,000×g, 15 min), 200 µL of supernatant was isolated and added to PBS containing fluorescein diacetate (FDA) solution (0.0125% w/w) with a mass ratio of 1:14. The suspension was incubated for 15 min at 35 °C. The samples were filtered through 0.45-µm Whatman filter to remove the cell debris. The absorbance of sample was measured at 490 nm using spectrofluorometry method and the samples cell viability was estimated.

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.
