It catalyzes the conversion of acetate and ATP to acetyl phosphate and ADP, serving as a key enzyme in bacterial carbon and energy metabolism, and plays a central role particularly in the methanogenesis metabolism of archaea.Assay PrincipleACK catalyzes the synthesis of Acetyl Phosphate and ADP from Sodium Acetate and ATP. Pyruvate Kinase then catalyzes the conversion of ADP and Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to ATP and Pyruvate. Subsequently, Lactate Dehydrogenase catalyzes the reduction of Pyruvate by NADH to produce Lactate and NAD⁺. The rate of oxidation of NADH to NAD⁺, measured by the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm, reflects ACK activity.Component48T96TStorageExtraction Buffer60 mL60 mL×22-8℃ReagentⅠ15 mL30 mL2-8℃ReagentⅡ1EA2EA-20℃.

Short centrifugation.Attention: 1) After adding Bu ff er GL and anhydrous ethanol, immediately vortex shake and mix well.2) The addition of Bu ff er GL and anhydrous ethanol may produce white precipitates, which will not affect subsequent experiments. Some organizations may form sol-gel products after adding Bu ff er GL and anhydrous ethanol, and it is recommended to perform severe shaking or vortex treatment at this time.5. Add all the solutions obtained in the previous step to the spin columns DM that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.6. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW1 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.7. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: To further improve DNA purity, repeat step 7.8.12000 rpm for 2 minutes and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).9.

When the pH value is below 7.0, the elution efficiency is not high.2) Preheating the GE in a water bath at 65-70 ℃ and incubating it at room temperature for 5 minutes before centrifugation can increase yield; Use an additional 50-200 µ Re washing with GE or sterilized water can increase yield.3) If the final concentration of DNA needs to be increased, the obtained solution can be re added to the adsorption column, left at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 1 minute; If the elution volume is less than 200 µ L. It is possible to increase the final concentration of DNA, but it may reduce the total yield. If the amount of DNA is less than 1 µ g. Recommended 50 µ Wash with GE or sterilized water.4) Because DNA stored in water is affected by acidic hydrolysis, if long-term preservation is required, it is recommended to elute with Bu ff er GE and store at -20 ℃. i ii Genomic extraction of blood and cell samples1. Bacterial sample pretreatment1a Gram negative bacteria(1) Take 1-5mL of bacterial culture (10 ^ -10 ^ cells, up to a maximum of 2 × 10 ^ cells) and place it in a centrifuge tube (self prepared). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute and try to aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.(2) Add 180 to the precipitate µ L Buffer GTL, shake to suspend bacterial weight.(3) Join 20 µ L Protein K, vortex mix well, incubate at 56 ° C until the bacterial cell is completely lysed, and during the incubation process, invert or shake the centrifuge tube periodically to disperse the sample.Note: To remove RNA, add 4 after completing the above steps µ L RNase A solution with a concentration of 100 mg/mL, shake well and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.(4) Join 200 µ L Buffer GL, vortex oscillation mixing.1b Gram positive bacteria(1) Take 1-5 mL of bacterial culture (10 ^ -10 ^ cells, maximum not exceeding 2 x 10 ^ cells) and place it in a centrifuge tube (self prepared). Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute and try to aspirate the supernatant as much as possible.(2) Join 180 µ L Enzymatic Lysis Buffer (self provided) suspends the bacterial weight.(3) Incubate at 37 ℃ for 30 minutes.(4) Join 20 µ L Protein K vortex oscillation, thoroughly mixed. Join 200 µ L Buffer GL, vortex oscillation mixing. Incubate at 56 ℃ for 30 minutes.Attention:1) If necessary, incubation at 95 ° C for 15 minutes can inactivate the pathogen, but incubation at 95 ° C can cause some DNA degradation.2) To remove RNA, add 4 after completing the above steps µ L RNase A solution with a concentration of 100 mg/mL, shake well and let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.2. Add 200 µ L anhydrous ethanol, vortex and shake thoroughly to mix well.Attention: Adding anhydrous ethanol may produce white precipitates, which will not affect subsequent experiments.3. Add all the solution obtained from step 2 (including the formed precipitate) to the adsorption column (Spin Columns DM) that has been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.4. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW1 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.5. Add 500 to the adsorption column µ L Buffer GW2 (check if anhydrous ethanol has been added before use), centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Note: To further improve DNA purity, repeat step 5.6.12000 rpm for 2 minutes and discard the waste liquid from the collection tube. Place the adsorption column at room temperature for a few minutes to thoroughly air dry.Note: The purpose of this step is to remove residual ethanol from the adsorption column, which can affect subsequent enzymatic reactions (such as enzyme digestion, PCR, etc.).7. Place the adsorption column in a new centrifuge tube (provided by oneself) and add 50-200 to the middle of the adsorption column in the air µ L Buffer GE or sterilized water, leave at room temperature for 2-5 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, collect DNA solution, and store DNA at -20 ℃.Attention:1) If downstream experiments are sensitive to pH or EDTA, they can be washed off with sterilized water. The pH value of the eluent has a significant impact on the elution efficiency. If water is used as the eluent, its pH value should be ensured to be between 7.0-8.5 (NaOH can be used to adjust the pH value of the water to this range).
