B. tequilensis was inoculated into flasks containing sterile LB broth (without NaCl), tryptone (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), and yeast extract, and the flasks were incubated for 24 hours (37°C, 200 rpm). After incubation, the culture was centrifuged (10,000 rpm, 10 minutes), and the supernatant was used for the synthesis of AgNPs. Three Erlenmeyer flasks, one containing supernatant with AgNO3 at a concentration of 5 mM, the second containing only the supernatant, and the third containing only AgNO3 solution, were incubated at 60°C for 1 hour. We used the sterile LB broth (without NaCl), tryptone (BD Biosciences), and yeast extract containing 5 mM AgNO3 as a control, to establish that the tryptone and yeast extract could not reduce the Ag+ ions to AgNPs. The supernatant was sterilized by 0.22 μm filter (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) after centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The concentration of AgNPs was determined as described earlier.34 (link) The AgNPs derived from the culture supernatant of bacteria were called B-AgNPs.

The effects of d-allulose on bacterial growth and acid production were examined in a medium constituted from 4 mL of tryptone-yeast extract-glucose (TYG) broth, which is made up of 0.5% tryptone (Becton Dickinson), 0.5% yeast extract (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Tokyo, Japan), 1% sodium succinate, 1% sodium chloride, and 1% glucose. The broth was adjusted to a pH of approximately 6.3. The broth was inoculated with a 1% (vol/vol) bacterial suspension of the test strain and incubated at the appropriate growth temperature for 1 to 2 d under batch conditions.
At the end of the incubation, the molar growth yield on glucose (Y G ) was calculated by dividing the dry weight of cells by the molar mass of consumed glucose, as determined below. To measure dry weight, cells were collected by centrifugation (1,800 × g, 20 min, 4°C), washed once with distilled water, dried at 105°C for 4 h, and weighed.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Swimming plates contained 1% tryptone (Difco Laboratories, USA), 0.5% NaCl (Merck, Germany), and 0.3% agar (Difco Laboratories, USA). Bacteria were taken with a toothpick from colonies grown overnight on LB plates and inoculated onto swimming plates by stabbing the agar with the toothpick midway and incubated at 30°C for 24 h. Total of 8 different plates were used to calculate swimming potential by measuring the diameter of the bacterial colony formed. Twitching plates contained 1% tryptone (Difco Laboratories, USA), 0.5% yeast extract, 1% NaCl (Merck, Germany), and 1% agar (Difco Laboratories, USA). Bacteria were taken from colonies grown overnight on LB plates and inoculated onto twitching plates by stabbing the agar with the toothpick all through the agar and inoculated at 30°C for 24 h. Total of 10 replicates were used to calculate twitching potential by measuring diameter of bacterial spread at the bottom of the plate after removing the agar and dying the bacteria at the bottom using crystal violet 1% (c0775, Sigma, USA).

Antibiotics were added to the medium if necessary: ampicillin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 100 μg/mL (E. coli); kanamycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 50 μg/mL (E. coli) and 8 μg/mL (D. radiodurans); and chloramphenicol (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 3 μg/mL (D. radiodurans).

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.
