Solution
Techniques used by the researchers are as follows:
1. Media Preparation- two types of medium prepared i.e. A. Conditioned Media from culture of Bacillus subtilis strain 168 infected with four different phages- phi20, phi105, rho14 & phi3T and, B. Control Media.
2. Incubation- conditioned media was infected with bacteria growing at mid log phase and then this conditioned media was incubated for 3 hours.
3. Filtrartion- this conditioned media after incubation was finely filtered to collect small molecules.
4. Sequencing of the Total DNA of bacteria.
5. Mass Spectrometry- for the confirmation of presence of SAIGRA peptide in conditioned medium, but not in the control medium.
6. Semi-quantitative PCR assay- for examination of phage phi3T integration into the B.subtitils genome during infection.
7.RNA Seq- to RNA extracted from bacteria during infection with & without peptide & change in the expression was observed for for aimX which was immediately downstream to the AimR DNA-binding site.
8. ChIp-Seq Assay- after phage infection with & without presence of artibrium peptide. Cell cultures of B.subtilis 168 & AimR-His tag complementation strain.
9. AimR Purification- presence of protein migrates as homodimer in gel filteration column.
10.Microscaled thermophoresis- Two-step purified 6xHis-tagged AimR stored in Tris-NACL buffer at -800 C was thawed on ice & centrifuged before analysis.
11.SDS-PAGE Gel- for the purity verification by protein running as a single band.
