For nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur sources 100 mM glucose was added to the inoculation fluid. Hundred microliters of the cell suspension was added to each well in plates PM1, PM2, PM3, and PM4. Plates were sealed with clear sealing film (Axygen, CTP-103) and incubated for 120 h at 30°C in the dark. Respiration in each condition was detected by measuring reduction of the dye by comparing absorbance at 590 nm to absorbance at 750 nm.

Adipose tissue from the kidneys was collected under aseptic operation and transported to
the laboratory. Primary cells were obtained from tissues by enzymatic digestion. The
digested cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium and Nutrient
Mixture F-12, HyClone, USA) medium containing 10 % FBS (fetal bovine serum;
Invitrogen, USA). Each 50 mL of maintenance medium was supplemented with
500  µg of insulin (Abcam, UK), 1.65  µmol of calcium
pantothenate (Sigma, USA), and 8.5  µmol of bovine transferrin (Sigma, USA).
After 7 d of induced differentiation, cells were stained with Oil Red O (Sigma, USA) and
observed under the microscope (Olympus, CKX41, Japan) until the round and bright lipid
droplets had formed in the cytoplasm. Total RNA was extracted from bovine preadipocytes
using TRIzol reagent. One microgram total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA to study
the effect of expression of ACSL5 gene on the triglycerides content in
preadipocytes.

A chemically defined medium containing a sugar mixture similar in composition to the enzymatic hydrolysate of the O. ficus-indica cladodes was initially used to evaluate the performance of both yeast strains as a benchmark before proceeding with the fermentation of the actual cladode hydrolysate. This medium contained (per litre) 0.5 g citric acid, 5 g (NH4)2HPO4, 0.75 g KH2PO4, 0.5 g K2HPO4, 0.2 g MgSO4·7H2O, 0.02 g CaCl2·2H2O, 0.1 g NaCl, 1 ml of a trace elements stock solution as described above and 4 ml of a vitamin stock solution. The latter contained (per litre) 0.025 g biotin, 0.5 g calcium pantothenate, 0.5 g nicotinic acid, 0.1 g p-aminobenzoic acid, 0.5 g pyridoxine hydrochloride, 0.5 g thiamine hydrochloride, and 12.5 g m-inositol (all vitamins from Sigma-Aldrich). The sugar mixture was autoclaved separately, whereas the mineral salts solution was autoclaved in the bioreactor at 121 °C for 20 min after adjustment to pH 5.0 by titration with 3 M KOH. The filter-sterilized vitamin stock solution was added to the sterile sugar mixture and aseptically transferred into the bioreactor.

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.
