Screen of our setup of the Infinite Reader

For measuring the Laccase activity we detected the level of oxidized ABTS via optical density at 420nm. The device we were able to use was a [http://www.tecan.com/platform/apps/product/index.asp?MenuID=1812&ID=1916&Menu=1&Item=21.2.10.1 Tecan Infinite Reader M200]. The program setup was in some parts adapted to the needs of our probes (like duration of the measurement) and in some parts standardized.
Used setup for Laccase activity measurements: Temperature: 25°C; Orbital shaking before each measuring cycle (time depends on duration of each cycle); Number of flashes: 30

Media, buffer and other solutions

Ampicillin stock solution

• Solubilize 100 mg mL^-1 Ampicillin
• Store at -20 °C

Chloramphenicol stock solution

• Solubilize 20 mg mL^-1 Chloramphenicol in 100 % Ethanol
