heparin-conjugated fibrinogen was prepared according to previous protocol18 (link). Briefly, total 100 mg of heparin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in 100 mL buffer solution (pH 6.0) of 0.05 M 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid (Sigma-Aldrich). For activation of the carboxylic acid groups of the heparin, N-hydroxysuccinimide (0.04 mM; Sigma-Aldrich) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.08 mM; Sigma-Aldrich) were added and incubated at 4℃ for 12 hours. After that, this activated heparin solution was vigorously stirred, precipitated with excessive anhydrous acetone and lyophilized for 24 hours. Next, 100 mg of fibrinogen was dissolved in 20 mL phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) without bubbles at 4℃. This solution was reacted with 60 mg of lyophilized heparin for 3 hours at 4℃. After precipitation and lyophilization under the same conditions, white powder was prepared and dissolved in PBS. Dialysis was done with a porous membrane bag (12,000-14,000 Da molecular weight cutoff; Spectrum Lab, Rancho Dominguez, CA, USA) at 4℃ for 24 hours and resultant solution was lyophilized for 48 hours to yield heparin-conjugated fibrinogen. HCF was fabricated by mixing heparin-conjugated fibrinogen, normal fibrinogen, aprotinin, calcium chloride and thrombin.

The higher-order mutants used in this study were generated by crossing the lines listed above.
Seeds were stratified at 4°C in the dark for 2 to 4 days on 1/2 Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium (Duchefa) (pH 5.8) supplemented with 0.5% (w/v) sucrose and 2.5 mM 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid (Sigma-Aldrich). Seeds were then given 6 hours of light and subsequently grown vertically under constant-dark conditions for time-lapse growth kinematics imaging or grown vertically in constant darkness for 48 hours followed by confocal microscopy or reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-Q-PCR) analysis. For pharmacological treatments, 250 μM EGCG or 0.1 μM NPA was added to the medium; the same volumes of solvent [dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)] were used in the corresponding mock treatments.

Main object of the research: xylotrophic basidiomycete Stereum hirsutum (Willd.) Pers. [20 (link)]. Part of the microscopic studies is duplicated on a bioluminescent xylotroph Omphalotus olearius (DC.) Singer and Video S11 features Neonothopanus nambi (Speg.) R.H. Petersen and Krisai (LE-BIN 2082 and LE-BIN 3297, respectively, Komarov Botanical Institute Basidiomycetes Culture Collection, St. Petersburg, Russia). Other wood-decaying basidiomycetes Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, Panellus luminescens (Corner) Corner [21 (link)] and P. stipticus (Bull.) P. Karst (LE-BIN 4431, Komarov Botanical Institute) were used for electron microscopy.
Fungal cultures were stored for a long time on malt agar medium with 1.5% agar (Panreac, Spain) at 4 °C (except for N. nambi—at room temperature). Working deponents and mycelium for experiments were grown on Czapek medium (CzM), рН 7, with 1.5% agar at 22–25 °C in the dark. For separate experiments, liquid CzM was used, both pH 7 and pH 5 (acidified CzM with 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Samples were grown on 9 cm Petri dishes, agarized CzM was covered with cellophane discs, and the inoculum (an agar block about 10 by 10 mm in size) was placed near the rim of the dish. The experiments used colonies aged from 4.5 to 7.5 days of growth for S. hirsutum and from 9.5 to 16 days for O. olearius.

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.
