Protocol
Occidiofungin extraction
-Culture the Burkholderia contaminans bacteria in Potato Dextrose Broth at 25 C for at least 5 days
-Centrifuge the bacteria at 13,000 rpm for 20 minutes
-Pour the supernatant into 2000 mL glass flask with a stir bar and add 0.5 volume of Sodium Thiosulfate (i.e. 750 mL of supernatant, 375 grams Sodium Thiosulfate)
-Stir the mixture for 2 hours
-Centrifuge the mixture at 13,000 rpm for 20 minutes
-Discard the supernatant and let the protein precipitate dry overnight
-Wash the protein out of the centrifuge tubes with 35% Acetonitrile and a plastic pipet into a plastic tube
-Distribute the contents between microfuge tubes and centrifuge at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes
-Extract the supernatant with a micropipette and place into a fresh tube for further purification in HPLC
Mutacin 1140 extraction
-Culture Streptococcus mutans to saturation in THYEX broth media
-Pour an equal volume of chloroform into the flask containing the cultured bacteria and let sit in fumehood overnight
-Pour out the upper broth layer and centrifuge the bottom chloroform layer at 13,000 rpm for 25 minutes
-Drain the chloroform, leaving behind the white semi-solid
-Centrifuge again at 13,000 rpm for 25 minutes
-Pour out the supernatant and let the precipitate dry overnight
-Wash out the precipitate with 35% Acetonitrile and a plastic pipet into a plastic tube
-Distribute the contents between microfuge tubes and centrifuge at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes
-Extract the supernatant with a micropipette and place into a fresh tube for further purification in HPLC
