Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Harzianic acid was obtained from T. harzianum M10 grown in liquid medium (PDB, HiMedia, Mumbai, India) for 21 days and purified following a previously described protocol with some modifications [25 (link)]. Briefly, culture filtrate was exhaustively extracted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, Carlo Erba, Cornaredo, Milan, Italy), and the dry residue was resuspended in dichloromethane (DCM, Carlo Erba) and extracted with a 2M solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH, Carlo Erba). The aqueous phase was acidified at pH = 2 with hydrochloric acid (HCl, Carlo Erba), and harzianic acid was obtained after vacuum filtration and precipitate wash with EtOAc. Harzianic acid identification was achieved by NMR and LC-MS analyses [30 (link),31 (link)].

Flavonoids were measured according to the method outlined by Heimler et al. [67 (link)]. An amount of 500 mg of ground samples was homogenized in 2 mL of 80% ethanol and then centrifuged at 15,000 rpm (Z 233 MK-2, Hermle, LaborTechnik GmbH, Wehingen, Germany) for 5 min. The supernatant (300 µL) was added to 45 µL of a 10% AlCl3 (Carlo Erba, Cornaredo, Milan, Italy) solution, 300 µL of a 1M NaOH (Carlo Erba, Cornaredo, Milan, Italy) solution, and 300 µL of deionized water.

Fungal Respiration Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The biological activity of each fungus was measured indirectly by the manometric method. The fungi were inoculated in 1 L septum sealed nozzle bottles filled with 100 mL of MEA medium, with the exception for E. halophilicum and A. penicillioides which MEA15% medium was used. All the bottles were closed with a pressure sensor mounted on top (OxiTop®-C system, WTW, Weilheim, Germany) and incubated for 25-35 d at 25 °C. The carbon dioxide evolved during aerobic respiration was quantitative adsorbed using droplets of NaOH (Carlo Erba Reagents, Milan, Italy) inside the sealed nozzle septum of the bottles. The pressure drop detected (every 100 min) in the bottle was proportional to the amount of oxygen used by fungi (Pereira et al., 2014; Schuchardt and Kruse, 2009; Willcock and Magan, 2001) .

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.
