Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aliquots of conidial suspensions (200 conidia in 100 µl RPMI medium) were dispensed per well of a 96-well flat-bottom plate. RPMI medium (100 µl, control), purified PA metabolites pyoverdine (1–10 µM) or pyocyanin (50–500 µM) (both: Sigma-Aldrich), filtrates of WT PA strains and siderophore loss-of-function mutants, or viable PA cells were added. For live cell co-culture, PA/AF ratios of 0.01 to 100 were tested in 10-fold serial dilutions.

Standardized A. fumigatus Biofilm Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pyocyanin, pyoverdine, pyochelin, ferric iron (FeCl3), 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide inner salt (XTT), menadione, and RPMI 1640 medium were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Iron contents in RPMI 1640 medium were below the detection limit (<1 µM, measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy; Paolo Visca, Rome, Italy, personal communication). Voriconazole was obtained from Pfizer, New York City. Stock was prepared in DMSO and was further diluted to test conditions in RPMI. DMSO concentration in our combination experiments was 0.01%. DMSO concentrations below 1% do not affect A. fumigatus biofilm metabolism, and thus did not require dedicated DMSO controls. Large batches of the reagents were prepared in aliquots and frozen, and a fresh aliquot was used in each experiment.

All strains were grown on PDA plates containing 100 μM BPS and supplemented with ~25 ml lyophilized culture filtrates from the WT strain, the Δku70 parent strain, or the mutants. The ability of S. apiospermum to assimilate iron from xenosiderophores was also assessed by using 20 µM of iron-saturated ferrichrome, ferrioxamine, or pyoverdine (Sigma-Aldrich) as the sole source of iron. Plates were point-inoculated and then incubated for seven days at 37°C.

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.
