For inhibition assays, cells were previously incubated with d-(+)-mannose (Sigma) or d-(+)-galactose (Alfa Aesar) (100 mm) and then incubated with hemocyanins as described above. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with an eFluor 780 viability probe (Thermo Fisher Scientific) (1:1,000) for 30 min at 4 °C. Cells were fixed with 2% PBS/PFA, and data were acquired in a BD FACSort cytometer from the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile and subsequently processed using FlowJo 6.0 software.

Catalytic Oxidation of Carbohydrates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxygen gas (4.5) was obtained from Linde Gas, The Netherlands. Granular Au/TiO2 was obtained from Strem (gold on titania, Aurolite™ 1.2 wt% Au/TiO2, AuTEK). The BET surface area of this catalyst is 47 m2 g−1, with an average Au-particle size of 2.5 nm (determined by TEM and STEM).25 (link) The reported Au-loading of 1.1–1.2 wt% was confirmed by ICP measurements.25,26 (link) XRD measurements showed that the titania support is of the mixed anatase/rutile-type. The pH of our reaction mixtures is acidic in nature (pH 1.5–2 after reaction), and therefore below the points of zero charge of both rutile and anatase.27 (link) As a result the support will be positively charged under the applied reaction conditions. Previously investigations showed that the TiO2-support itself is not active in the conversion of the substrates.25,28 (link) This granular Au/TiO2-catalyst was gently crushed and sieved to obtain an equal particle size of 0.5–0.65 mm for experiments in plug flow set-up. Silicon carbide (powder, medium, 120 grit, Alfa Aesar) was used as additional inert filler for the packed bed plug flow reactor. The following carbohydrate substrates were used as received: alpha-d-glucose (96%, Sigma Aldrich), d-(+)-galactose (99+%, Acros), d-glucuronic acid (>96.0%, TCI), d-galacturonic acid monohydrate (gift from Royal Cosun).

Fresh colonies of E. coli MG1655 were transferred to 1 mL LB broth media and grown for 8 h at 37 °C in an incubator shaker. After 8 h, 5 µL of grown cultures were transferred to 96 well plates (Costar) containing 195 µL of 0.1% glycerol M9 media supplemented with 5, 10, and 20 mM of carbon sources: D-galactose (Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium), D-Glucose (Acros Organics), D-maltose (Acros Organics), D-Trehalose (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), Oleic acid (Fisher Scientific) and D-Fructose (Acros Organics). Cell density (OD600) was measured every 15 min using a plate reader (BioTek HTX) at 37 °C for 24 h. The maximum growth rate (µmax) was calculated using the custom program in MATLABTM. A total of 500 mM of a stock solution of Oleic acid was prepared using water, Brij35 (Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA) and ethanol, while 500 mM of the stock solutions of the other five carbon sources was prepared in water. The stock solutions were filter sterilized using 0.22 µm PVDF filters (Olympus plastics).

Glycation of Porcine Aortic Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Porcine aortas was obtained at a local traditional market. Artery sections with length of 20~30 mm were used. Tissue sections were washed in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and soaked in 1% povidone-iodine solution for 10 seconds and washed in sterilized PBS solution. Outer surface and two sections of each sterilized aorta were sprayed with polytetrafluoroethylene, then aorta would be soaked in 25 mL glycated solution.
Monosaccharides used were glucose, galactose and fructose. Specifically, we used D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), D-galactose (Acros Organics, Fair Lawn, NJ) and D-fructose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Glycated solutions were 0.5 M sugar solutions in 0.05 M PBS solution and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (10,000 U/mL, Gibco, CA). Tissue sections were kept in 37 ℃ incubator and the glycated solution was replaced each 4 days. All tissues were incubated under the above conditions for different periods. Tissues were removed from sugar solutions and cut into sections 2.0 mm in thickness for imaging.

Assessing Sugar Utilization of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lactiplantibacillusplantarum strains were first incubated in cMRS for 24 h at 30°C. The cells were then collected by centrifugation at 5000× g for 5 min, washed twice in PBS to remove residual nutrients (pH 7.2) and then suspended in a modified MRS (mMRS) without beef extract or dextrose (pH 6.5) (De Man et al., 1960 ). The cell suspensions were then distributed into 96‐well microtiter plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) at an optical density (OD) at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.2. To test the capacity to grow on different sugars, mMRS was amended to contain 2% (w/v) of d‐glucose (111 mM) (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ), d‐maltose monohydrate (55 mM) (Amresco, Solon, OH), sucrose (58 mM) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), d‐galactose (111 mM) (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ), d‐raffinose pentahydrate (40 mM) (VWR International, Solon, OH), D‐fructose (55 mM) (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ), d‐xylose (133 mM) (Acros Organics, Morris Plains, NJ), d‐ribose (133 mM) (Acros Organics, Morris Plains, NJ) or l‐arabinose (133 mM) (Acros Organics, Morris Plains, NJ). The OD600 values were measured hourly for 48 h in a Synergy 2 microplate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT) set at 30°C without aeration.

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.
