Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) harboring pET24d::his6-SAS1 was grown at 37°C until it reached an OD600 of ~0.6–0.8 and was induced by adding 12.5 g/l d(+)-lactose monohydrate (Sigma). After 20 h at 30°C, cells were harvested as described. The cell pellet was resuspended in 10 ml of wash buffer [20 mM HEPES/NaOH (pH 8.0), 250 mM NaCl, 40 mM imidazole, 20 mM MgCl2, 20 mM KCl], supplemented 0.1 mg/ml of DNase I, RNase A, lysozyme, and 1 × cOmplete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Cells were lysed by three passages through a French press mini cell at 900 psi. The cleared lysate was applied to 1 ml of equilibrated nickel nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) agarose (Qiagen) and washed three times with 10 ml of wash buffer. HisSAS1 was eluted by adding 1 ml of elution buffer [20 mM HEPES/NaOH (pH 8.0), 250 mM NaCl, 500 mM imidazole, 20 mM MgCl2, 20 mM KCl] five times. HisSAS1 was buffer exchanged in storage buffer [20 mM HEPES/NaOH (pH 7.5), 200 mM NaCl, 20 mM MgCl2, 20 mM KCl] and concentrated using a 30 kDa Amicon® (Millipore). Protein concentration was determined using the Roti®-Quant reagent (Carl Roth) using BSA as a standard, and the aliquots were stored at −80°C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L. brevis D6, L. fermentum D12, L. plantarum D13, and E. faecium ZGZA7-10 were inoculated into skimmed milk (2%) (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, St. Louis, MO, USA) or in skimmed milk with added 2.0, 4.0 and 6.5% (w/v) of NaCl and incubated for 48 h at 37 °C. During cultivation, lactic acid production, pH value, and the bacterial counts were monitored. Proteolytic activity of examined strains after 4 h of incubation in 0.65% (w/v) casein was quantified according to Anson’s method as described by Beganović et al. [38 (link)]. Quantification of lactose, lactate and acetate after overnight growth of particular LAB strains in skimmed milk was performed by liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV/VIS-DAD) while diacetyl was determined by gas chromatography (GC-FID). D-lactose monohydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, St. Louis, MO, USA), anhydrous sodium acetate (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, St. Louis, MO, USA), sodium-d,l-lactate (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, St. Louis, MO, USA), and diacetyl (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, St. Louis, MO, USA), were used as analytical standards. The quantification limit of the HPLC/UV/VIS (DAD) method is 0.00625 mg/mL for acetate and 0.00625 mg/mL for lactate. The quantification limit for the determination of diacetyl by the GC-FID method is 0.1 mg/mL.

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.
