Biomass Pretreatment and Extractives Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pretreated but unwashed biomass (equivalent to 1 g glucan according to Table 2) was washed sequentially with 20 ml of water, 20 ml ethanol, and 20 ml acetone on a Buchner funnel through Whatman #1 filter paper (GE Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, United States). The resulting extracted material solutions were dried at 50°C overnight and redissolved in 10 ml water. Glc content in the extractives was assayed directly as described above. The extractives were then digested to completion with C/HTec2 and re-measured for free Glc. The difference before and after enzymatic digestion was taken as Glc due to soluble oligosaccharides, with a small contribution from the C/HTec2 itself, which was subtracted.
See Materials and Methods for the GenBank or JGI accession numbers.
Enzyme inhibition by the extractives was tested in a standardized assay containing CS at a concentration of 2 mg glucan/ml and a C/HTec2 loading of 1 mg/g glucan, as described below. Extractives derived from the equivalent of 1 mg glucan from unwashed biomass were tested per mg of glucan from corn stover.

Mushroom Bioactive Compound Extraction

Mushroom fruiting bodies were cleaned using a brush to remove dirt, cut into small pieces, air-dried at 25°C—30°C for 5–7 days and pulverized using a blender. Ten grams of each powdered mushroom was mixed with 100 mL 95% ethanol, tumbled at room temperature for 3 days, centrifuged at 1000 X g for 10 min and the resulting supernatant was filtered using Whatman #1 filter paper (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Each filtrate was vacuum-dried using Eppendorf Vacufuge Plus Concentrator System (Eppendorf, Enfield, CT, USA). The dried extracts were tared to constant weight and dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare 50,000 ppm (parts per million) stock solutions.

Seed Germination and Seedling Growth Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty large seeds or 0.5 g of small seeds of each accession were put in sterile 15- or 2-ml tubes and soaked for 6 h in double-distilled sterile water (Figure 1C). Half of these were then transferred to a sterile Petri dish containing a sterile Whatman #1 filter paper (GE HealthCare: United States) and irrigated with 3 ml of sterile water, while the other half received 3 ml of sterile water mixed with 1 g of field soil. These were incubated at 32°C in the dark for several days until germination.
From each dish, two seedlings were transplanted to corresponding jars as they germinated. Autoclaved glass jars were 13-cm tall, 7-cm wide in diameter, and filled with 100 ml of sterile sand (then autoclaved again) or with 100 ml of 1:1 soil/sterile sand, then watered once with 10 ml of sterile distilled water and sealed with a plastic lid. Jars were incubated (and never opened) in a single Panasonic MLR-352H Plant Growth Chamber set at 28°C for 12 h with 5 lm of fluorescent light and for 12 h of darkness at 22°C. Plants were grown between 2 weeks and 2 months, until they were of a significant size or until they hit the lid of the jar. Before harvesting, jar lids were removed inside a laminar flow hood, and shoots were allowed to dry off for 24 h (Figures 1D,E).

Metabolite Extraction from Fungal Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We prepared metabolite extracts used for bioassays from whole plate cultures of 11-1-2 by cutting the agar into pieces and transferring the pieces into a clean flask. Ethyl acetate (20 mL) was added to each flask, and the contents were mixed and left to incubate at room temperature overnight. The extracts were then filtered using Whatman #1 filter paper (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and transferred into clean flasks. The remaining agar pieces were rinsed with 10 mL of fresh ethyl acetate, which was subsequently filtered and combined with the corresponding extract. The solvent was evaporated overnight, and the dried extracts were resuspended in 1 mL of 100% vol/vol LC-grade methanol and were stored at −20°C.
For the metabolomic analysis of 11-1-2, organic extractions were carried out as described above except that the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the dried extracts were redissolved in 1 mL of 100% vol/vol LC-MS-grade methanol. A 500-μL aliquot of each extract was then transferred into a 96-well plate and used for LC-MS/MS analysis.

Residual Nitrite Analysis in Packaged Food

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Residual nitrite analysis was done in accordance with AOAC Method 973.31 (AOAC International, 2005b) . Sampling was conducted in duplicate on days 1, 6, 13, 27, 41, 55, 69, 83, 97, 111 , and 125 post packaging. Samples were prepared by separating the 2 exterior slices (slices 1 and 4 in the stack) from the 2 interior slices (slices 2 and 3 in the stack) of each package. The exterior and interior slices were finely chopped separately using a food processor (KitchenAid, St. Joseph, MI), and 5.0 g (± 0.01 g) was weighed into a beaker. Each 5.0 g sample was then added to a 500 mL volumetric flask with approximately 300 mL hot (approximately 50°C-80°C) distilled water and placed into a 100°C water bath. Flasks remained in the water bath for 2 h and were swirled every 30 min. After heating, the flasks were cooled to room temperature (approximately 23°C), then filled to volume (500 mL) with distilled water. Approximately 30 mL was filtered through Whatman #1 filter paper (Whatman Grade 1, GE Health Care Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA) into a 50 mL volumetric flask. Next, reagents were added as described in the AOAC International procedure, flasks were filled to volume, and absorbance at 540 nm was recorded using a Beckman DU 640 spectrophotometer (Model 4320940; Beckman, Fullerton, CA).

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.
