N. gonorrhoeae strains used in this study are derived from the laboratory strains FA19 and F62 and are described in S4 Table. Gonococcal strains were grown overnight at 37°C under 5% (v/v) CO2 on GC agar plates containing Kellogg’s supplements I and II [57 (link)]. When indicated glucose in supplement I was replaced by L-lactate or pyruvate at indicated concentrations. Growth in liquid medium was at 37°C with agitation (225 r.p.m.) in GC broth containing Kellogg’s supplements I and II and 0.042% (w/v) sodium bicarbonate. When necessary, culture media were supplemented with ampicillin (Amp; 100 μg/mL), chloramphenicol (Cm; 0.5–1.0 μg/mL), kanamycin (Km; 50 μg/mL), erythromycin (Erm; 1 μg/mL), isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG; 0.5 to 1.0 mM as indicated) or 5-bromo-4-chloro-3- indolyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (X-gal; 20 μg/mL). E. coli TOP10 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and ER2566 (New England BioLabs, NEB) were used for cloning and protein expression purposes respectively and grown on LB medium.

The bacterial host of investigated phages Serratia sp. OS31 was isolated from rock biofilms of the Zloty Stok gold and arsenic mine (SW Poland) using the methods described previously [93 (link)] and was kindly provided by Lukasz Drewniak. The strain was grown under aerobic conditions in lysogeny broth (LB) or R2A media [94 ] at 20 °C. Using the same methodology [93 (link)], we isolated two other Serratia spp. strains (BZSmr3 and BZSmr6) from biofilms of the walls of the Gertruda Adit in the Zloty Stok in April 2018. They were used in host range testing assay. Bacteria used in host range testing (Table S8) were grown under aerobic conditions in LB at 30 °C, except Yersinia eneterolitica 2/O:9 (at room temperature, RT) and environmental Serratia spp. strains from Zloty Stok (at 20 °C).
The following Escherichia coli strains were used in this study: TOP10F’ (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), ER2566 (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), and ER2929 Dam strain lysogenized with λDE3 element, which carried the gene for T7 RNA polymerase under control of the lacUV5 promoter [95 (link)]. These were cultured under standard conditions in LB medium at 37 °C. When required, the media were supplemented with kanamycin at 50 μg·mL−1, and ampicillin at 100 μg·mL−1. Plasmids pUC19 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and pET30a (Invitrogen) were used as cloning or expression vectors.

DNA for bacterial protein expression was transformed into E. coli BL21-DE3 (Merck), BL21 DE3 RIL (codon plus) cells (Stratagene) or ER2566 (NEB). With the exception of pCDF-PylST, all cDNA plasmids and antibodies generated for this study are available to request through our reagents website (https://mrcppureagents.dundee.ac.uk/).
LC-MS and Semi-preparative peptide HPLC was carried out as previously described26 (link). All solvents and reagents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich or VWR unless otherwise stated.

Isolation and Characterization of Antarctic Pseudomonas

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pseudomonas sp. ANT_H14 was isolated from a soil sample collected near the Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station located on King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands, situated 120 km off the coast of Antarctica. The strain was identified based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing using universal primers 27f and 1492r [18 ]. No permission was required for soil samples collection, as the Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station is located outside the Antarctic Specially Protected Area. Moreover, the field study did not involve endangered or protected species.
Other strains used in this study were: Escherichia coli TOP10 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and ER2566 (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 [19 (link)] and seven Pseudomonas spp. strains isolated from the same environment as Pseudomonas sp. ANT_H14. The stains were cultured under standard conditions in LB medium at 37°C (E. coli and P. aeruginosa PAO1) or 22°C (Pseudomonas environmental isolates).
When required, growth media were supplemented with kanamycin (Km, 50 μg ml−1) and glucose (1%). The vector pET30a (Kmr, Novagen, Inc., Madison, WI, USA) was used in recombinant protein expression experiments.

Escherichia coli strain ER2566 (NEB, Ipswich, United States) was used for all fractionation studies, and E. coli XL1-Blue Mrf’ Kan or Tet (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, United States), or DH5α were used for cloning. Cells were grown aerobically in LB medium (1% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% NaCl) at 37°C with the appropriate antibiotics (100 μg/ml ampicillin, 25 μg/ml chloramphenicol, 50 μg/ml kanamycin). 0.5 mM IPTG or 0.1% rhamnose were used to induce PlacZ- or PrhaB-dependent protein production at indicated time points. E. coli strain BTH101 (Euromedex, Souffelweyersheim, France) was used for bacterial-2-hybrid (B2H) studies. For growth curves, 25-ml cultures were inoculated with OD600 of 0.1 and grown aerobically. The OD600 was determined in 30-min intervals. For induction of gene expression, 0.01% rhamnose was added at indicated time points. 1% glucose was added for repression of rhamnose-dependent gene expression.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The E. coli strains DH5α (Invitrogen) and ER2566 (New England Biolabs) and the B. subtilis strains BG214, BG508 (4 (link)) and NIG2001 (30 (link)) were used. The BG508 strain carries Pδ fused to a promoter-less lacZ gene. This construct was integrated as a unique copy into the amyE locus of the B. subtilis chromosome (4 (link)). In the NIG2001 strain, the wild-type (wt) rpoC gene was substituted in the B. subtilis genome with a version that had a His-tag coding sequence fused to the 3′-end (30 (link)). The Pω bearing pCB30 plasmid was used for promoter analysis, and pHP14 was used for cloning purposes (4 (link)). The plasmids used for gene over-expression were pT712ω bearing ω, pCB746 bearing δ (4 (link),11 (link),16 (link)), and pT712ωD56A bearing the ωD56A gene (this work). The single mutations in the ω gene were obtained by gene synthesis (Genscript). BG508 cells bearing pHP14 carrying either the ω, δ, ωδ, ωΔN19, ω2, ωK52A, ωE53A, ωD56A, ωR64A or ωK70A genes were used for the β-galactosidase assays. The native promoters of these genes were also incorporated into the constructs.

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.
