In Situ Isolation and Culturing of Recalcitrant Soil Bacteria using an Isolation Chip (iChip)

This protocol describes the design and use of an isolation chip (iChip) for in situ cultivation of recalcitrant soil microbes in their natural environment. It also describes the in situ cultivation of antimicrobial-producing soil bacteria. The protocol can be adapted to recover bacteria from diverse niches with other desirable properties.

Surface Potential Measurement of Bacteria Using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy

Here, we present a protocol explaining the use of Kelvin probe force microscopy as a tool for generating high resolution nano-scale surface potential maps. This tool was applied to assess the role of surface potential on the binding capacity of microorganisms to substrate surfaces.

Demonstrating Authors: Bradley Schmitz and Luisa Ikner
Surface soils are a heterogeneous mixture of inorganic and organic particles that combine together to form secondary aggregates. Within and between the aggregates are voids or pores that visually contain both air and water. These conditions create an ideal ecosystem for bacteria, so all soils contain vast populations of bacteria, usually over 1 million...

Amino Acid Biosynthetic Pathways01:29

Amino Acid Biosynthetic Pathways

Amino acid biosynthesis is essential for cell growth, protein synthesis, and metabolic regulation. Cells generate essential and non-essential amino acids from metabolic intermediates to sustain vital biological functions. These intermediates originate from key metabolic pathways: glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and the pentose phosphate pathway. Important precursors include α-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, oxaloacetate, phosphoenolpyruvate, and erythrose-4-phosphate, which...
