Lignocellulose Hydrolysate Cultivation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five strains were cultivated in wheat straw hydrolysate in 500-mL bioreactors (Multifors 2, Switzerland) containing 350 mL hydrolysate. For cultivation of basidiomycetes, it was necessary to add 1.7 g/L YNB (without ammonium sulphate and amino acids, Difco™, Becton Dickinson and Company, USA), 0.5 g/L magnesium sulphate (Merck) and 2 g/L ammonium phosphate (Merck). Oxygen tension was set to 20% which was regulated by stirring speed (initially set to 200 rpm) with an air flow of 0.3 L/min. Temperature was set to 25 °C and polypropylene glycol 2000 was added manually as antifoaming agent, if needed. pH was set to 6 and controlled by 5 M NaOH and 3 M H3PO4 Bioreactors were inoculated to an initial OD 5. In preliminary experiments, we found that a higher initial cell density provides an improved tolerance against the inhibitors in the hydrolysate, shortens the lag phases and makes the cultivations more reproducible. This is in accordance with earlier findings on bioethanol production from lignocellulose hydrolysate [48 (link)]. Samples were collected at least once a day for CDW, HPLC analysis for sugar consumption and FTIR for lipid quantification. Samples for lipid analysis were taken from the pre-culture and at the end of fermentation.

MS-based Endopep analysis was done in MS-positive ion reflector mode utilizing an autoflex speed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) equipped with a smartbeam laser. Sample (2 µL) was mixed with 18 µL of MALDI-Matrix (5 mg/mL of α-Cyano-4hydroxycinnamic acid, Bruker Daltonics) in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, Sigma-Aldrich, Seelze, Germany) and 50% acetonitrile (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) in HPLC water, 1 mM ammoniumphosphate (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Of this mixture 1 µL was spotted onto a MTP 384 polished steel target plate (Bruker Daltonics). For matrix suppression, deflection was set to m/z 500, mass spectra were acquired over the mass range m/z 600 to 4800. External mass calibration was performed with peptide calibration standard II (Bruker Daltonics). Each spectrum represents an average of 4,000 laser shots. Spectra were processed by flexAnalysis 3.4 software (Bruker Daltonics).

The compound (MFA,
99%) and its impurities (copper(II) acetate (98%), CBA (98%), 2–3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline (99%), and benzoic acid (99.5%)) were sourced
from Sigma-Aldrich. The crystallization solvents used included ethyl
acetate (99%, Alfa Aesar) and diglyme (99%, Alpha Aesar), whereas
the wash solvents used were n-heptane (99%, Alfa
Aesar) and cyclohexane (99%, Alpha Aesar).
The HPLC mobile phase
was prepared with water (HPLC grade, VWR), ammonium phosphate (98%,
Sigma-Aldrich), and ammonium hydroxide with a concentration of 3M,
acetonitrile (HPLC grade, VWR), and tetrahydrofuran (99.9%, Sigma-Aldrich).
MFA, 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline, benzoic acid,
and CBA cause serious eye damage/irritation. MFA, 2,3-dimethyl-N-phenylaniline, and CBA can cause skin irritation.
Diglyme, n-heptane, ethyl acetate, and cyclohexane
are flammable solvents. Ethyl acetate causes serious eye damage/irritation. n-heptane and cyclohexane can cause skin irritation. Diglyme
can cause damage to an unborn child and organ damage. Ethyl acetate, n-heptane, and cyclohexane can cause drowsiness/dizziness.
cyclohexane is toxic if swallowed. n-heptane and
cyclohexane are very toxic to aquatic life.

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanohydroxyapatite

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2·4H2O; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) and ammonium phosphate ((NH4)3PO4·3H2O; Sigma-Aldrich) were separately dissolved in aqueous solution. The Calcium nitrate solution was dropped slowly into the ammonium phosphate solution while the solution was stirred and heated to 70°C. The pH value of the solution was maintained between 10 and 12 by adding ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH; Sigma-Aldrich). The chemical reaction formula was:
10Ca(NO3)2+6(NH4)3PO4+2NH4OHpH>10Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2+20NH4NO3
When the reaction ended, nHA precipitate was obtained and thoroughly washed with deionized water, after which dimethylformamide (DMF; Sigma-Aldrich) was added gradually. The water in the precipitate solution was removed above 100°C; thus, the solvent became essentially DMF. Finally, the temperature was increased to 120°C and held for 2 hours. This procedure produced nHA, which was finally dried at 100°C for 12 hours to obtain nHA powder. The size and morphology of the nHA particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using a JEM-100CX transmission electron microscope (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).

A wet chemistry plus hydrothermal treatment method was used to synthesize nHA with good crystallinity and nanometer particle size as described in our previous papers32 (link)–36 (link). Briefly, 37.5 mL of a 0.6 M ammonium phosphate (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) solution was added to 375 mL of water and adjusted to pH 10 with ammonium hydroxide (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). A 1 M calcium nitrate (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) solution added dropwise into the above mixture while stirring. Precipitation of HA continued for 10 min at room temperature. Upon complete addition of calcium nitrate, the HA precipitate containing solution was hydrothermally treated at 200 °C for 20 h in a 125 mL Teflon liner (Parr Instrument Company, Moline, IL). After 20 h, the nHA precipitate was centrifuged and rinsed thoroughly with water three times, dried at 80 °C for 12 h and ground into a fine powder.

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.
