This invention discloses a kit for constructing an iron-dependent growth environment for
Acinetobacter baumannii and its application method, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. The kit is specifically designed for
Acinetobacter baumannii, and its core components include a 50 mmol / L sterile
stock solution tube of 2,2′-
bipyridine, a 2000 μmol / L sterile
stock solution tube of FeCl3, and a user manual. It does not include general-purpose LB medium, thus avoiding the problem of high-temperature and high-pressure deterioration of core reagents and highlighting the innovative combination of dedicated reagents. This invention also provides the application method of the kit. By adding the kit
stock solution to the autoclaved and cooled LB medium in a specific ratio, standardized growth environments with normal iron, iron deficiency, and iron enrichment can be rapidly constructed.
Dynamic monitoring and
verification of the reversibility of
growth inhibition-
recovery ensure that the iron environment is precise and controllable. The kit is easy to operate, has good reproducibility, and can achieve standardized construction of the iron environment for
Acinetobacter baumannii. It is suitable for iron
metabolism-related research such as
functional analysis of iron uptake-related proteins, development of iron deprivation antibacterial strategies, and screening of iron-deficient strains.
