Fungal spores were inoculated at 106 spores mL−1 into 40 mL of a primary medium, i.e., glucose minimal medium, in 125-mL flasks containing (per liter) 10 g sucrose, 5 g yeast extract (Difco Laboratories, MD, USA), 50 mL nitrate salts, and 1 mL trace elements, at pH 4.5. The cultures were incubated at 25 °C with shaking at 150 rpm for 48 h. Cultures were harvested by vacuum filtration through a sterile Büchner funnel fitted with a Whatman number 1 filter paper, and the remaining mycelia were washed twice with 50 mL of sterile distilled water. The washed mycelia were resuspended in 50 mL of 0.2 M phthalate-buffered or phosphate-buffered liquid secondary medium (SM) at pH 4 or pH 7, respectively. This SM contained (per liter) 60 g sucrose, 7 g NaNO3, 3 g tryptone (Difco Laboratories, MD, USA), 1 g KH2PO4, 0.5 g MgSO4 · 7H2O, and 0.5 g KCl. The cultures were incubated at 25 °C on a rotating shaker at 150 rpm for 0.5, 1, 3, 10, or 24 h. A sample of mycelia from the cultures was collected into a 1.5-mL Eppendorf at each time point, and the mycelia were frozen with liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction.

The germination in the seed boxes of P. turczaninovii seeding material was preliminarily evaluated. Then fruits were surface sterilized by immersion in 70% ethanol for 2 min, followed by immersion for 4 min. in 0.1% (w/v) mercuric chloride (HgCl 2 ) solution containing 3 drops of Tween-80, and then thoroughly rinsed four times with autoclaved distilled water. Aseptic achenes were placed on medium, described as step zero S0, containing ¼ concentration of MS salts (Murashige and Skoog 1962) (link) deprived of phytohormones but supplemented with 0.1 g L -1 myo-inositol, 1 3 0.5 mg L -1 tiamine, 0.5 mg L -1 pyridoxine, 0.5 mg L -1 nicotinic acid, as well as 20 g L -1 sucrose, 0.6 g L -1 activated charcoal, and 5.0 g L -1 agar (Difco Laboratories Inc. UK). The germination percent in vitro on 1/4 MS medium was also checked. Achenes with gentle incised pericarp were placed in 100 mL Erlenmeyer flasks filled with 10 mL of medium. The single experiment consisted of 10 flasks with 10 achenes per flasks, and was repeated twice. Germination was carried out in a growth chamber illuminated with white light during the day, using of 16/8 photoperiod and a temperature of 22/14 °C (day/night). After four weeks the number of aseptic seedlings obtained under in vitro conditions was assessed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All Arabidopsis thaliana plants were Columbia (Col-0) ecotype and used for floral dip transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 [53 (link)]. Six growing pots, each containing five Arabidopsis plants, were used for each construct. Seeds were initially stratified for two days at 4 °C, surface sterilized for two min in 75% (v/v) ethanol, and 4 min in 25% (v/v) bleach, and washed with sterile distilled water. Afterwards, they were transferred to soil (Postground P, Klasmann-Deilmann, Geeste, Germany) or plated on Petri dishes containing solid half-strength MS medium (Duchefa Biochemie, Haarlem, The Netherlands) [54 (link)] supplemented with 0.05% MES (2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) pH 5.7, Gamborg’s B5 vitamins, a micronutrient mixture (Duchefa Biochemie, Haarlem, The Netherlands), 2% (w/v) sucrose and 1.2% (w/v) agar (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA). The seeds were germinated and grown in a plant growth chamber under long-day conditions at 22 °C (16 h photoperiod).

Construction of PAO1 Mutant Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PAO1 mutants were constructed following a previously described protocol (Hmelo et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, the upstream and downstream regions of each gene open reading frame (ORF) were amplified from PAO1 genomic DNA, digested with KpnI/EcoRI, and ligated into the linearized suicide vector pEX18Gm. The resulting mixtures were transformed into the competent E. coli DH5α cells by electroporation. The constructed recombinant plasmids pEX18Gm-recA, pEX18Gm-lys, pEX18Gm-prtN, pEX18Gm-PA0634, pEX18Gm-PA3866, and pEX18Gm-PA0985 were mobilized from E. coli S17.1 into PAO1 by mating. The single colonies were streaked onto non-salt LB (NSLB) plus 15% sucrose (Sigma-Aldrich) plates and incubated at 30°C for sucrose counterselection. Finally, the sucrose-resistant colonies that grew on LB agar and Pseudomonas Isolation Agar (PIA) plates (BD, Germany) but not on LB agar plates containing 30 μg/ml gentamicin were selected, and the desired mutation was confirmed by PCR and sequencing (Tsingke, Beijing, China). All primers used in this study are listed in Supplementary Table S2.

For immunohistochemical studies, spinal columns were dissected and the lumbar part of the spinal cord and DRG from the same level were collected. Neuronal tissue and skin samples were cryoprotected by placing them into a 15% sucrose solution in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (15% wt/vol sucrose [BDH, London, United Kingdom], 3.12 g/L NaH2PO4·2H2O [Sigma, Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom], and 28.65 g/L Na2HPO4·12H2O [Sigma]) for 24 hours at 4°C. Samples were then transferred to a 30% sucrose solution in 0.1 M phosphate buffer for a further 24 hours before tissue was embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound. Fourteen micrometer (skin and spinal cord) and 7 μm (DRG) sections were sectioned on a cryostat and thaw mounted onto glass slides.
For immunohistochemistry, slide-mounted tissue sections were blocked with 10% goat serum (Millipore, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) in PBS containing 0.2% Triton-X (Sigma) and 0.1% sodium azide (Sigma) (PBS-X). Slides were then incubated overnight at room temperature with primary antibody in PBS-X followed by the appropriate secondary antibody for 2 hours (Table 2). At the end of the protocol, slides were coverslipped with mounting medium (VectaShield, Peterborough, United Kingdom).

For biomass recuperation, the culture was centrifuged at 3500× g for 15 min; then, the pellet was resuspended in distilled water, and the number of cells was determined using a Neubauer chamber. The suspension obtained was considered the SmF inoculum for the production of EPSs and was stored at 4 °C until use.

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.
