Lipids were extracted from bacterial cultures as described elsewhere62 (link). Briefly, bacteria were grown to OD600 of 1.0 in TSB or TSB supplemented with 10 µM LA, centrifuged in a 2 mL glass Chromacol vial (Thermo Scientific), and resuspended in 0.5 mL MS grade methanol (Sigma-Aldrich). MS grade chloroform was then used to extract lipids. The extracted lipids were dried under nitrogen gas with a Techne sample concentrator (Staffordshire, UK), and the lipid pellets resuspended in 1 mL acetonitrile. The samples were then analysed by LC–MS with a Dionex 3400RS HPLC coupled to an amaZon SL quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer (Bruker Scientific) via an electrospray ionisation interface. Both positive and negative ionisation modes were used for sample analyses. The Bruker Compass software package was utilized for data analyses, using DataAnalysis for peak identification and characterization of lipid class, and QuantAnalysis for quantification of the relative abundance of distinct PG species to total PG species.

Physicochemical Profiling of Algerian Date Powder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HPLC-grade water was obtained from a LC-Pak™ Millex system (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA). Formic acid, MS grade methanol, citric acid, galacturonic acid, malic acid, glucose, sucrose, gallic acid, and caffeine were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA. Quinic acid, catechin, procyanidin B 1 , procyanidin C 1 , kaempferol glucoside, kaempferol, rutin, and quercetin rhamnoside were obtained from PhytoLab, Vestenbergsgreuth, Germany. The ''Degla-Beida'' dates used in this study present a dry nature and a hard texture, that are found in the palm groves of South-East Algeria. The choice of this variety is justified by its relative abundance on the national territory, its low market value, its long shelf life due to its dry nature, its taste and nutritional quality (energy source represented by its high sugar content) (Djaoud et al., 2020) . The dates were washed with tap water followed by distillated water, pitted and deposited in a drying oven at 40°C until up to a constant weight. Then, the dried samples were ground into a fine powder, which was passed through a standard sieve (125 µm diameter) and only the fraction with the particle size≤125 µm was used. Finally, the powder was stored in the darkness (Djaoud et al., 2019) .

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.
