I'm developing a cell-based assay in 96-well plates thatrequires adherent cells, as they need to be washed at least twiceduring the protocol. I'm using in-house strains of HT1080 cells(some overexpressing a certain protein of interest) thatunfortunately have been selected for suspension growth inchemically-defined media (50/50 CD-CHO/CD-293). I can convince themto adhere by culturing in DMEM with 10% FBS and growing them inCELLBind flasks, but they still tend to pull away if there is verymuch shearing force, such as during the wash steps, or when they'rein PBS during the assay wash and incubation steps (maybe 2 hourstotal for now, I'm still optimizing that).

Unfortunately, the parameters of my experiments don't allow meto keep the cells in serum-containing media during the assay, as itwould interfere with the uptake of my drug. Like I've said, when inPBS they start detaching, and I would assume the same in HBSS,which I don't really want to use anyway due to its low bufferingcapacity in CO2 incubators.

Might DMEM alone (without FBS) provide a little more impetus tostay attached during the assay? What would the effect be ofincreasing the amount of FBS to say 15 or 20% during culturing -would that promote stronger attachment? I'm a little hesitant tocoat the wells with poly-D-lysine, as my readout is on afluorescent imager, and I'm worried it would substantially increasebackground. I don't really have enough time to re-select the cellsfor adherent growth (although if I'd known about these issues frommy predecessor 3 or 4 months ago I would have started rightaway...), so are there any other tricks I can try in the meantime?Are there any media supplements I could use to promote adherinexpression or something like that? Any tips or advice at all wouldbe appreciated.

1)Urea broth was prepared and sterilized by autoclaving. Bacteria was inoculated and after an overnight incubation, the color was unchanged. What conclusion can you make from this result?

2)When un-inoculated Simmons Citrate media was incubated overnight, it turned blue. Explain this color change.

3)For a unknown, your results are the following: Gram negative rod; turbidity and yellow color in Phenol Red Lactose; Turned blue in Simmonâs Citrate agar; Urea broth turned pink; Methyl Red negative; Vogues-Proskauer positive; Kovacâs reagent negative; non-motile on motility tube. What is this unknown?

4) According to Table 39.3 in the Lab Manual, K. pneumonia bacteria is citrate Positive. Explain how and why a strain of K. pneumonia would result in a citrate negative result.
