Source: Wiegand, D. J., et al. Cell-free Protein Expression Using the Rapidly Growing Bacterium Vibrio natriegens. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates the preparation of a cell extract from Vibrio natriegens, a rapidly growing bacterium known for its high protein synthesis rate. The bacterial pellet is washed and resuspended in lysis buffer before sonication on ice to prevent cellular degradation. The lysate is centrifuged to separate insoluble cell debris, and the cell extract is...

Introducing Shear Stress in the Study of Bacterial Adhesion

During the infection process, a key step is the adhesion of pathogens with host cells. In most instances this adhesion step occurs in the presence of mechanical stress generated by flowing liquid. We describe a technique that introduces shear stress as an important parameter in the study of bacterial...
