Bifidobacterium adolescentis Strains Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two B. adolescentis strains were used in this work. The strain B. adolescentis IPLA60004, from here onward IPLA60004, belongs to IPLA-CSIC culture collection. IPLA60004 was previously isolated from a human colonic biopsy and was demonstrated to have a high capability to convert the GABA precursor monosodium glutamate (MSG) into GABA (19 (link), 29 (link)). The strain B. adolescentis LMG10502T, from here onward LMG10502T, was purchased from the Belgium culture collection (BCCM/LMG Bacteria Collection, Belgium) and was previously demonstrated to lack gad genes, and hence, the capacity to produce GABA. The strains were routinely grown in MRSc medium [MRS (Biokar, France) supplemented with 0.25% (wt/vol) L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (Sigma-Merck, Germany)]. Stocks stored at −80°C were resuscitated in agar-MRSc in anaerobic jar with anaerocult A (Merck, Germany) at 37°C for 2 days. Isolated colonies were inoculated in 50 mL of MRSc broth and incubated under the same conditions for 20 ± 1 h to obtain the bifidobacterial cultures.

Depending on the number of available faecal pellets, samples were re-suspended in either 450 or 900 μl of sterile phosphate buffer saline (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and used to produce tenfold serial dilutions (neat - 10-4). The samples were then vortexed for 30 s and mixed using on a shaker at 1600 rpm. An aliquot of each dilution (100 μl) was plated onto Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) (Oxoid, UK) agar supplemented with mupirocin (50 mg/l) (Sigma-Aldrich, UK), l-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (50 mg/l) (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and sodium iodoacetate (7.5 mg/l) (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and incubated in an anaerobic cabinet for 48–72 h (Baker Ruskinn, UK). Three colonies from each dilution were randomly selected and streaked to purity on BHI agar supplemented with l-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (50 mg/l). Pure cultures were stored in cryogenic tubes at −80 °C.

Peptide Modification and Purification

Example 2

Alternatively, peptides were purified using HPLC and following isolation they were modified with a molecular scaffold reagent containing Michael acceptors. For this, linear peptide was diluted with 50:50 MeCN:H2O up to ˜35 mL, ˜500 μL of 100 mM molecular scaffold reagent containing Michael acceptors in acetonitrile was added, and the reaction was initiated with 5 mL of 1 M NH4HCO3 in H2O. The reaction was allowed to proceed for ˜30-60 min at RT, and lyophilized once the reaction had completed (as judged by MALDI). Once completed, 1 mL of 1M L-Cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (Sigma) in H2O was added to the reaction for ˜60 min at RT to quench any excess molecular scaffold reagent containing Michael acceptors.

Following lyophilization, the modified peptide was purified as above, while replacing the Luna C8 with a Gemini C18 column (Phenomenex), and changing the acid to 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. Pure fractions containing the correct desired product were pooled, lyophilized and kept at −20° C. for storage.

All amino acids, unless noted otherwise, were used in the L-configurations.

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.
