Optimization of Amylase Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OFAT method was carried out by changing parameters of factors in a sequential manner. The factors considered for optimization were pH of the media, Incubation temperature, Carbon and nitrogen sources and presence of metal ions. The pH of the media was adjusted between 4 and 10. The incubation temperature ranged between 4 °C and 45 °C. Additional carbon sources like glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, inositol, mannitol, rhamnose, maltose, lactose, trehalose, sodium citrate, arabinose (HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai, India, LR grade) was supplemented at 10 g/L along with Starch. The effect of nitrogen source on amylase production was evaluated by replacing peptone with malt extract, beef extract, yeast extract, peptone, casitone, corn steep liquor (HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai, India, LR grade) and inorganic nitrogen sources such as ammonium sulphate, ammonium chloride, ammonium carbonate, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate (HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai, India, LR grade). Various metal ions such as Fe2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Sn2+, Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+at 0.5 g/L were supplemented in the media in the form of metal salts. All the experiments were performed in triplicates and the data is represented in Mean ± Standard deviation.

Mouse Cdh23 (NP_075859.2) extracellular (EC) repeats EC1 (Q24 to D124) and EC1-2 (Q24 to D228) were PCR-amplified and cloned into pET21a vector (Novagen, Merck-Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). We considered the Q24 as Q2 in our experiments. Cdh23-EC1, EC1-2, and EC1-3 repeats were expressed in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL cells (Stratagene, San Diego, CA, USA) and E. coli lemo(DE3) cultured in Luria/Bertani broth (Hi-Media, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) and grown at 37 °C to an OD600 of 0.6. Induction was carried out differently for both the strains. For expression in E. coli lemo(DE3), the cells were induced along with 1 mm rhamnose and 0.2 mm IPTG (Hi-Media) and then induced at 30 °C for 6 h. For expression in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL, the protein was then induced with 0.2 mm IPTG and incubated at the same temperature. Unlike in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL, Cdh23 EC1-2 protein from E. coli lemo(DE3) was obtained in the soluble fraction. For expressions in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL, we revived the proteins from the inclusion bodies and processed through serial dialysis, as reported [8 (link)]. All proteins were first purified using Ni-NTA beads followed by SEC on a Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) in 25 mm HEPES (pH 7.5), 25 mm KCl, 100 mm NaCl, and 2 mm CaCl2.

Cadherin-23 Extracellular Repeat Expression

Mouse Cdh23 (NP_075859.2) extracellular (EC) repeats EC1 (Q24 to D124) and EC1‐2 (Q24 to D228) were PCR‐amplified and cloned into pET21a vector (Novagen, Merck‐Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). We considered the Q24 as Q2 in our experiments. Cdh23‐EC1, EC1‐2, and EC1‐3 repeats were expressed in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)‐RIPL cells (Stratagene, San Diego, CA, USA) and E. coli lemo(DE3) cultured in Luria/Bertani broth (Hi‐Media, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) and grown at 37 °C to an OD600 of 0.6. Induction was carried out differently for both the strains. For expression in E. coli lemo(DE3), the cells were induced along with 1 mm rhamnose and 0.2 mm IPTG (Hi‐Media) and then induced at 30 °C for 6 h. For expression in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)‐RIPL, the protein was then induced with 0.2 mm IPTG and incubated at the same temperature. Unlike in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)‐RIPL, Cdh23 EC1‐2 protein from E. coli lemo(DE3) was obtained in the soluble fraction. For expressions in E. coli BL21CodonPlus (DE3)‐RIPL, we revived the proteins from the inclusion bodies and processed through serial dialysis, as reported 8. All proteins were first purified using Ni‐NTA beads followed by SEC on a Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) in 25 mm HEPES (pH 7.5), 25 mm KCl, 100 mm NaCl, and 2 mm CaCl2.

The effect of EPIs on rhamnolipids was assessed by following a method described earlier [65 (link)], with some modifications. The OD600nm of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and PAO750 was adjusted to 0.5, diluted 10 times in fresh PPGAS (0.02 M NH4Cl2, 0.02 M KCl, 0.12 M Tris-HCl, 1.6 mM MgSO4, 0.5% glucose, 1% peptone, pH 7.2) [66 (link)] medium, and incubated at 37°C for 24 h in the presence of compounds (Ar1, Ar5, Ar11, and Ar18) at 16 μg/mL. After 24 h, the culture was centrifuged at 13,000 ×g for 15 min. Then, 500 μL of supernatant was added to 1 mL of diethyl ether, shaken, and let it settle down. Next, 900 μL of the upper organic layer was collected and subject to dry at 80° C for 15 min. Afterward, 900 μL of orcinol-reagent (0.19% orcinol in 53% sulphuric acid) was added, incubated at 80°C for 30 min, cooled at room temperature (for 15 min), and OD421nm was measured. The amount of rhamnolipids in samples was generated using a standard curve of OD421nm versus concentration of rhamnose (Himedia, India).

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.
