For the qRT-PCR analysis, RNA (1 μg) isolated from the WK strains grown in the MB and MBCG media was converted into cDNA using a Power cDNA Synthesis Kit (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seoul, Korea). The cDNA synthesis process was started at 42 °C for 60 min, followed by incubation at 95 °C for 5 min to terminate the cDNA synthesis reaction. The 18S (18S ribosomal protein) gene expression of the WK strains served as the housekeeping gene for normalization of qRT-PCR [20 (link)]. After dilution of the cDNA, qRT-PCR was performed with Rotor-Gene Q 2plex HRM (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) using the Rotor-Gene SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). fusA (5′-TGGCAGAGGAGAAGTACAAC-3′), ssb1 (5′-GCACGTCGTTACACCTTATC-3′), and clpP (5′-ACGTGGAGAGCGTTCATA-3′) were synthesized by Bioneer (Daejeon, Korea). The PCR reaction condition was as follows: denaturation at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 10 s and annealing at 72 °C for 15 s. The 1-min real-time PCR experiments were conducted with three replications of each gene-specific primer for the 2D electrophoresis selected proteins.

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.
