Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fluconazole susceptibilities of the strains were determined by a previously described broth microdilution method (63 (link)), with slight modifications. A 2-day-old colony from a YPD agar plate was suspended in 2 ml of an 0.9% NaCl solution, and 4 µl of the suspension was mixed with 2 ml 2× SD-CSM medium (13.4 g yeast nitrogen base without amino acids [YNB; MP Biomedicals, Illkirch, France], 40 g glucose, 1.58 g complete supplement medium [MP Biomedicals] per liter). A 2-fold dilution series of fluconazole (Sigma GmbH, Deisenhofen, Germany) was prepared in water, starting from an initial concentration of 512 µg/ml. One hundred microliters of each fluconazole solution was then mixed with 100 µl of the cell suspension in a 96-well microtiter plate, and the plates were incubated for 48 h at 37°C. The MIC of fluconazole was defined as the drug concentration that abolished or drastically reduced visible growth compared to a drug-free control.

Drosophila melanogaster Canton S (Wolbachia-free) were reared at 25°C, 12 h:12 h light-dark cycle, on yeast-glucose diet: 100 g l−1 Brewer's yeast (inactive; MP Biomedicals), 100 g l−1 glucose (Sigma), 12 g l−1 agar (Apex) and preservatives [0.04% phosphoric acid, 0.42% propionic acid (Sigma)]. Drosophila gut microbiota members were isolated on modified MRS agar from aseptically-dissected fly guts. All bacteria used in the study are listed in Table 1, and were maintained at 30°C. Modified MRS contains (all from Sigma unless noted): 1.25% vegetable peptone (Becton Dickinson), 0.75% yeast extract, 2% glucose, 0.5% sodium acetate, 0.2% dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 0.2% triammonium citrate, 0.02% magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.005% manganese sulfate tetrahydrate, 1.2% agar (Apex). Potato medium contains: 0.5% glucose, 1% yeast extract, 1% peptone, 0.8% potato extract (Fluka 07915), 1.2% agar (Apex). Bacteria we isolated from Drosophila guts are identified as F for “fly isolate” and those isolated from other sources as NF for “non-fly,” e.g., Acetobacter tropicalisF vs. A. tropicalisNF.

All the strains used in this study were constructed in the Y. lipolytica PO1f background (ATCC MYA-2613), a leucine and uracil auxotroph devoid of any secreted protease activity [39 ]. The ku70-disrupted Y. lipolytica strain was constructed using the ku70 deletion cassettes with URA3 marker as described by Verbeke [31 (link)]. All the strains used in this study are listed in Table 1.
Media and growth conditions for Escherichia coli and Y. lipolytica have been previously described by Sambrook and Russell [41 ], and Barth and Gaillardin [42 (link)], respectively. While, the Yeast Extract Peptone Dextrose (YPD) medium was prepared with 20 g/L bacto peptone (Difco Laboratories), 10 g/L yeast extract (Difco), 20 g/L glucose (Sigma-Aldrich), the Yeast Nitrogen Base (YNB) medium was made with 6.7 g/L yeast nitrogen base (without amino acids) (Difco), 0.69 g/L complete amino acid supplement mixture (CSM)-uracil supplement (MP Biomedicals), and 20 g/L glucose.

Enzymatic Characterization of MAX1 Variants

Enzymatic characterization of MAX1 and the genetic variants was carried out as described in Zhang et al. (2014) except that Agrobacterium tumefaciens was resuspended in 50 mM MES (Duchefa, Haarlem, The Netherlands)-KOH buffer (pH 5.6) containing 2 mM NaH 2 PO 4 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 100 µM acetosyringone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 0.5% (w/v) glucose (MP Biomedicals, France) to a final OD 600 of 0.5. Instead of OsD27, OsCCD7, and OsCCD8, we used AtD27, MAX3, and MAX4, which were co-infiltrated with AtMAX1 and genetic variants to study the conversion of CL to CLA. Infiltration was performed using 4-week-old N. benthamiana plants which were soil grown in pots in a plant house with artificial light to make a photoperiod of 16 h light at 25 °C and 8 h dark at 22 °C. For each gene combination, six individual plants were used as biological replicates.

Transient Expression of MAX1 Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To characterise the enzymatic activity of MAX1 and the genetic variants described herein we used transient expression in N. benthamiana essentially as described in Zhang et al. (2014) except that A. tumefaciens were resuspended in 50 mM MES (2-Morpholinoethanesulfonic acid hydrate) (Duchefa, Haarlem, The Netherlands) -KOH buffer (pH 5.6) containing 2mM NaH 2 PO 4 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 100 µM acetosyringone (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 0.5% glucose (MP Biomedicals, France) to a final OD 600 of 0.5. Instead of OsD27, OsCCD7 and OsCCD8 that were shown by Zhang et al. (2014) to result in the production of CL upon transient expression in N. benthamiana we used AtD27, MAX3 and MAX4. By co-infiltrating MAX1 and genetic variants with these genes we can study the conversion of CL to CLA. Infiltration was performed using 4week-old N. benthamiana plants. For each gene combination, six individual plants were used as biological replicates.

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.
