PI intercalates with bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and gives fluorescence. PI can enter the bacterial cell membrane only when it has been permeabilized through an agent, and bind with DNA. This DNA-bound PI fluoresces with excitation and emission at 544 nm and 620 nm, respectively. The fluorescence emission can be detected by both spectrofluorimeter [19 (link)] and flow cytometer [21 (link)] equipped with an appropriate filter. Briefly, S. aureus and E. coli cells were grown in BHI broth up to the mid logarithmic phase, harvested, washed, and adjusted to 106 CFU/ml in PBS buffer. The cells were incubated at 37°C with curcumin I (25 μM, 50 μM & 100 μM) and simultaneously with two bacterial membrane permeabilizing agents HNP-1 and nisin (both have been used as positive controls) at indicated time points. After curcumin exposure, the cells were washed in PBS buffer and incubated with PI (1.3 μg/ml) at 37°C for 20 min in dark. The PI fluorescence was measured at excitation and emission of 544 nm and 620 nm respectively, through a fluorescence spectrophotometer (Shimadzu RF-5301 PC spectrofluorimeter, Japan). Similarly, separate aliquots were prepared and measured in the flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson (BD) Facs verse, San Jose, CA, and Beckman Coulter, CA). A total of 10,000 cells were acquired for each flow cytometry analysis.

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.
