Multi-drug resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa strain PAO1 (ATCC 47085) and MDR E. coli O157:H7 strain SMS-3-5 (ATCC BAA-1743), both isolates from humans or the environment, and not produce associated, were revived from freezer stocks stored at -80°C by streaking onto Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) and incubating for 24 h at 37°C to obtain isolated colonies. An isolated colony of P. aeruginosa was streaked onto Pseudomonas Isolation Agar (PIA, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) and an isolated colony of E. coli O157:H7 was streaked on to Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMB, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) followed by incubation for 24 h at 37°C. Separate single colonies from PIA and EMB were incubated separately in Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) at 180 rpm for 24 h at 37°C. Cells were washed two times in 0.1% (wt/vol) peptone (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States) and were separately suspended in 9 ml of 0.1% (wt/vol) peptone to prepare the inoculation solution.

The strains used in this study are shown in Table 2. Escherichia coli DH5α (New-England-Biolabs (NEB)) was used for cloning and plasmid amplification. Bacteria were propagated in low-salt lysogeny broth (LS-LB) medium, consisting of 0.5% (w/v) sodium chloride (Merck), 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract (Lab M) and 1.0% (w/v) tryptone (Lab M) with or without 1.5% agar (BD) and with the required antibiotics. The Pichia pastoris (syn. Komagataella phaffii)
NRRL-Y-11430 strain (kindly obtained from Prof. Nico Callewaert (VIB, Ghent University)) was used for recombinant protein production. Yeast strains were plated on yeast extract peptone dextrose (YPD) plates (1% (w/v) yeast extract, 2% (w/v) peptone (BD), 2% (w/v) dextrose (Merck), 1.5% agar (Difco)) with the required antibiotics. All antibiotics were purchased from Thermo Fischer Scientific with the exception of carbenicillin, which was obtained from Gold Biotechnology. For recombinant protein expression, strains were grown in buffered glycerol-complex medium (BMGY) and induction was performed in buffered methanol-complex medium (BMMY). Both BMGY and BMMY consist of 1% (w/v) yeast extract, 2% (w/v) peptone (BD), 100 mM phosphate buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) at pH 6.0 and 1.34% (w/v) yeast nitrogen base (YNB, Formedium) with 1% glycerol (v/v Sigma) or 1% methanol (v/v, VWR) as sole carbon source respectively.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The swarming motility of P. aeruginosa strains was assessed using the previously described methodology with some modifications (75 (link)). Swarming medium was prepared by mixing 0.5 % (wt/vol) Bacto agar (Axil Scientific, 1st Base), 0.5 % (wt/vol) peptone (Becton, Dickinson), and 0.2 % (wt/vol) yeast extract (Axil Scientific, 1st Base). Following agar sterilization, the medium was supplemented with 1.0 % (vol/vol) glucose (Axil Scientific, 1st Base) and left to cool at 45°C in a water bath. Molten agar (20 ml) was poured into 15-cm petri dishes and dried open for 5 min in a fumigated hood. Overnight cultures (2 ml) of P. aeruginosa grown in the presence of ethanol (control), steroids, or colistin were centrifuged (8,000 rpm, 10 min). Pellets were spot inoculated at the center of the agar surface using a sterile toothpick, and plates were then incubated for 16 h at 37°C. Images of swarming colonies were taken using a Gel Doc XR + system (Bio-Rad), and the extent of swarming was determined by measuring the swarming area using ImageJ software (76 (link)). At least, three biological and two technical replicates were performed to ensure the reproducibility of each experiment.

Fermentations were carried out in duplicate. Values given are means of the quantities determined in the individual fermentation experiments. The standard deviation did not exceed 5% ± of the total amount measured. All fermentations were carried out in 1 l malt extract medium composed of malt extract (20 g, Lindenmeyer GmbH & Co. KG, Heilbronn, Germany), peptone (1 g, Becton, Dickinson GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) and glucose (20 g) per 1 l tap H2O in 2 l Erlenmeyer flasks. Agar plugs of well-grown cultures were transferred aseptically as inoculum. Fermentation was carried out at 22 °C on an orbital shaker at 120 rpm. A sample was taken every second day to monitor the production of secondary metabolites and to measure glucose content (Diabur-Test 5000, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) and pH value (pH 209, HANNA® Instruments Deutschland GmbH).
The samples were separated into mycelium and culture filtrate by filtration via a Büchner funnel for HPLC analysis. After extraction of the culture filtrate with an equal volume of EtOAc, the organic solvent was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to dryness. The mycelium was discarded.

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.
