Organism Bacteria Escherichia coli

Method To determine the Vin value, standard NAD+ solutions were prepared in 0.2 M HCl. This solution was used to rupture cells and extract the intracellular NAD+
Comments "...the Vin values of E. coli BL21(DE3) and A. tumefaciens AGL1 samples were determined to be 24.2 µL and 80.2 µL, and the normalized Vin values were 1.9 µL·mg–1 and 1.8 µL·mg–1, respectively. As 1 OD600 equals to 7.8 ×10^8 cell·mL–1 for E. coli culture (Volkmer and Heinemann, 2011), the Vin value could also be normalized as 6.7×10^–10 µL/cell."
