Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Assays evaluating colony growth in major carbon sources were conducted for ΔAbSte7 mutants according to Cho et al. (2015) (link). Mycelial growth of A. brassicicola WT and ΔAbSte7 mutant strains was assessed in minimal medium supplemented with 1% citrus pectin (cat# P9135-100g, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 1% xylan (cat# X823251, Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., China), or 1% cellulose (cat# C804601, Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., China).
A series of cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), including polygalacturonase (PG), cellulase (Cx), β-glucosidase (β-G), polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase (PGTE), pectin methyl-trans-eliminase (PMTE), and pectin methylesterase (PME), was detected in hosts infected with the WT and ΔAbSte7 M1 mutant strains. At 12, 24, 48, and 72 hpi, the infected leaves were harvested for crude enzyme extraction and CWDEs were measured according to Yang et al. (2012) . All treatments were replicated three times. The data was analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA). Statistically significant differences between strains were determined by Student’s t-test (P < 0.05).

Isolation and Characterization of Pectin-Degrading Bacteria from Cigar Wrapper Leaf

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples collected from the cigar wrapper leaf from the Haikou Cigar Research Institute, Hainan Provincial Branch of the China National Tobacco Corporation, were diluted with 0.9% sterile NaCl solution and then plated onto pectin agar plates (PAPs) containing 0.5% pectin (galacturonic acid≥ ≥ 74.0%, Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., Ltd.), 0.1% K2HPO4, 0.3% (NH4)2SO4, 0.001% Fe2SO4, 0.1% MgSO4, and 1.8% agar powder. Inoculated plates were incubated for 48 h at 37 °C to obtain bacterial colonies. Colonies were picked, inoculated on fresh PAPs, and incubated at 37 °C for 48 h to obtain pure cultures. The pure cultures were maintained on Luria–Bertani (LB) agar plates at 4 °C and stored at − 80 °C with 15% glycerol for further use.

Optimizing Pectinase Activity: pH, Temperature, and Metal Ions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The enzyme activity was highly influenced by the pH, temperature, and metal ions. The pH and temperature are important characteristics of a biocatalyst for use in industrial applications. The optimal pH of pectinase in the cell-free supernatant was assayed using citrate–phosphate (pH 6.0), phosphate (pH 7.0–8.0), and glycine–NaOH (pH 9.0–11.0) as buffers (50 mmol/L) and 0.2% pectin (Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., Ltd., China) as a substrate at 40 °C. The optimal temperature for pectinase activity was determined by incubating the reaction mixture from 30 °C to 70 °C at the optimal pH. The effects of metal ions (Ag+, K+, Li+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Fe3+) on pectinase activity were assayed at a concentration of 1.0 mM in the reaction mixture. Thermal stability was investigated by measuring pectinase activity every 20 min following incubation of the enzyme solution at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C.

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.
