For Figures 1B, 6A and 6F, the working stock of each mutant, T2 cells, were thawed and diluted 1:100 into fresh C+Y medium, or C+Y medium with doxycycline at different final concentrations, or with different concentrations of S-(5’-Adenosyl)-L-methionine (A7007, Sigma Aldrich), as the initial cell culture. For Figure 6D, the T2 cells were thawed and diluted 1:100 into fresh Blood Like Medium (BLM) without nucleobases solution, or supplemented with individual nucleobases component (adenine, adenosine, guanine, uracil, uridine and xanthine), or with all the components (Aprianto et al., 2018 (link)). Then 300 μl of the initial culture was aliquoted into each well of 96-well plates with 3 replicates. Cell density were monitored by measuring OD595 every 10 minutes with a Tecan Spark microtiter plate reader at 37°C. Luciferase assay (Figure 1B) was performed as previously described (Liu et al., 2017 (link)). Luciferin (D-Luciferin sodium salt, SYNCHEM OHG) was added into C+Y medium at final concentration of 450 μg/ml as substrate of the luciferase. Luminescence signals were measured every 10 minutes with a Tecan Spark microtiter plate. Growth and luciferase activity curves were plotted with Prism 8 as described previously (Sorg and Veening, 2015 (link)).

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.
