Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All physiological experiments were performed in triplicate. The effects of temperature, pH, and concentrations of NaCl on cell growth, utilization of carbohydrates and sensitivity to antibiotics were determined by hydrogen production in gas phase of cultures. Hydrogen and methane in gas phase of cultures were measured with a gas chromatography equipped with a thermal conductivity detector (GC-8A; Shimadzu, Japan). Glucose, acetate, and ethanol in liquid phase of cultures were measured with a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (LC20; Shimadzu) with Shim-pack SPR-H column (Shimadzu) or HPLC (LC-2000Plus, Jasco) with Aminex HPX-87H column (BIO-RAD). Methyl esters of cellular fatty acids were identified and quantified via a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (M7200A GC/3DQMS system; Hitachi).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hesperidin was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry (Tokyo, Japan). Trifluoroacetic acid (TCA) and methanol were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). For the preparation of GME, unripe fruit of Citrus unshiu was obtained from the orchards of Jeju Island (Korea) and extracted with ethanol two times. Briefly, the dried unripe fruit was extracted with 4 L of 70% aqueous ethanol three times at 80 °C for 1 h, followed by further extraction with 95% aqueous ethanol to yield 90% ethanol-insoluble precipitate (GME). For analysis of the Hesperidin content in GME, an HPLC (LC-2000Plus, Jasco International, Tokyo, Japan) assay using a Luna® C18 5 μm column (4.6 × 250 mm) was performed. A gradient elution was achieved with various ratios of solvent A (0.1% TCA in water) to solvent B (methanol), with a flow rate of 1 mL/min as follows: 0–25 min, 70:30, 26–30 min, 10:90, and 31 min onward, 70:30. The wavelength of acquisition was set to 280 nm. The average content of Hesperidin in the GME was 35% (Supplemental Fig. 1).

Analysis of Silage Fermentation Products

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The products of the silage fermentation were analysed using the analysis method for fermented feed described by Cai [22 ]. The fermented feed sample (10 g) was homogenized in 90 mL of sterilized distilled water and placed in a refrigerator at 4 °C for 24 h. After evenly mixing, the extract was filtered through a quantitative ashless filter paper (5A, 110 mm; Advantec Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The pH value was determined by a glass electrode pH meter (D-71; Horiba Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan).
The ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) content of the fermented feed was analysed using the Kjeltec auto distillation system (2200; Foss Tecator, Höganäs, Sweden), as described by Cai [22 ]. The fermented feed filtrate was shaken through a cation exchange resin (Amberlite, IR 120B H AG; Organo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and centrifuged at 6500×g for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatants were passed through a 0.45 µm filter (DISMIC 13HP; Toyo Roshi Kaisha, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan), and the filtrates were injected into an HPLC system (LC-2000 plus; JASCO Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) to determine the organic acid content in accordance with the feed analysis method described by Cai [22 ].

The fermentation products of the silages were analyzed using the cold water extract method (30 ). The 10 g of silage sample was homogenized in 90 mL of sterilized distilled water and kept in a 4°C refrigerator for 24 h. Thereafter, the extract samples were filtered through quantitative ashless filter paper (circle size: 5A, 110 mm, Advantec Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The filtrate was used to determine pH, NH3-N, and organic acid including lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid. The pH was measured using a pH meter (D-71, Horiba Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan). The steam distillation of the filtrates was used to determine NH3-N using the Kjeltech auto distillation (2200, Foss Tecator, Hoganas, Sweden) as described by Cai (28 ). The filtrates of silages were injected into an HPLC system (LC-2000 plus, JASCO Co., Tokyo, Japan) to determine organic acid (30 ).

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.
