Raw materials used in the commercial cosmetic products were used to develop the body wash gels: sodium laureth-2 sulfate (trade name Brensurf 25; supplier Brenntag, Warsaw, Poland), sodium lauryl sulfate (Rosulfan L, PCC Exol, Brzeg Dolny, Poland), sodium coco sulfate (Sulfopon C1216, BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany), sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (Crodasinic LS30, Croda, Snaith, Great Britain), Ectoin (RonaCare Ectoin, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), citric acid (citric acid, Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland) and Milli-Q water. The formulations of analyzed solutions is presented in Table 1. A representative concentration of 1 wt.% of surfactants was selected for the study. Cleansing cosmetics available on the market contain about 10–15% surfactants, but they are diluted with water during the cleaning process.
In the physico-chemical tests were used: zein from corn (zein, Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), potassium sulfate (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), copper sulfate pentahydrate (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), sulfuric acid 98% (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), Tashiro indicator (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), sodium hydroxide, citric acid (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland). All reagents were analytical grade.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The bacterial strain used was K. xylinus E25 (Bowil Biotech Ltd., Władysławowo, Poland). Unless otherwise stated, this strain was cultured in SH medium (basal medium; (Hestrin and Schramm 1954 (link))) at 30 °C under static conditions. One liter of the culture medium contained 20.0 g glucose (POCh, Gliwice, Poland), 5.0 g yeast extract (BTL, Łódź, Poland), 5.0 g bacterial peptone (BTL, Łódź, Poland), 2.7 g sodium phosphate dibasic (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), 1.15 g citric acid (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland), and 0.5 g magnesium sulfate (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland). When necessary, the basal medium was supplemented with 1% EtOH (ethanol medium). The initial pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.7 with 80% acetic acid (Chempur, Piekary Śląskie, Poland).

Cellulose‐producing strains (K. xylinus E26 (from the in‐house collection), K. xylinus BCRC 12334 (kind courtesy of Prof. Jyh Ming Wu, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Chinese Culture University, Taipei, Taiwan), and K. hansenii ATCC 53582 American Type Culture Collection) were cultured in 10‐ml test tubes filled with 5‐ml of media at 30°C under static conditions for 3 days. One liter culture medium (Hestrin‐Schramm, HS; Hestrin & Schramm, 1954) contained 20.0 g glucose (POCh, Poland), 5.0 g yeast extract (BTL, Poland), 5.0 g bacterial peptone (BTL, Poland), 2.7 g sodium phosphate dibasic (Chempur, Poland), 1.15 g citric acid (Chempur, Poland), and 0.5 g magnesium sulfate (Chempur, Poland). The initial pH of the medium was adjusted to 5.7 with 80% acetic acid (Chempur, Poland). 1% cellulase (from Trichodrma reesei ATCC 26921, Sigma‐Aldrich) was added to the culture, and the released cells were harvested for genomic DNA purification.

Radionuclide Characterization and Handling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals used in the work were of analytical grade purity. Salts and citric acid used in experiments were obtained from CHEMPUR, Poland. Triton X-102 (polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether, MW = 757 g/mol) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Deionized water was used in all experiments. The carrier-free radionuclides of cesium-137 (radioactive half-life, t1/2 = 30.07 y; energy of emitted radiation, Eγ = 661.7 keV) and cobalt-60 (t1/2 = 5.3 y; Eγ = 1.17 and 1.33 MeV) were supplied by POLATOM (Otwock-Swierk, Poland) as certificated standard solutions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 was cultivated in SH medium (Schramm and Hestrin medium) at 30 °C. The SH medium for K. hansenii cultivation was used in two forms: liquid—for agitated and stationary cultures and with 2% (w/v) agar (Difco, USA)—for plate cultures. One-liter culture medium contained 20.0 g glucose (POCH, Poland), 5.0 g yeast extract (BTL, Poland), 5.0 g bacterial peptone (BTL, Poland), 2.7 g sodium phosphate dibasic (Chempur, Poland), 1.15 g citric acid (Chempur, Poland), and 0.5 g magnesium sulfate (Chempur, Poland). The pH was adjusted to 5.7 with 80% acetic acid (Chempur, Poland) before sterilization.

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.
