Samples for XRD analysis are based on the biomass separated from an aliquot. A detailed description of this process was previously31 (link) given. Finally, the biomass was placed as thin and as homogeneous as possible on a homemade sample holder. The sample holder consists of a 1 mm thick and 25 mm diameter Si(977) single crystal mounted in a 32 mm diameter and 4 mm thick plate of polycarbonate, which fits directly to the support of the Phillips X-pert diffractometer employed for the X-ray diffraction measurements.

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.
