These spores, however, did not outgrow when subcultured on nutrient agar. Spores which remained refractile during storage in clove infusion at 37掳C outgrew when transferred to nutrient agar. Clove ash was determined to contain substances which allowed complete germination or darkening of spores ...
At the core of this sustainability endeavour are the substantial nutritional and health requirements of birds that are raised intensively. Nutrient-dense feed resources such as maize and soybeans are indispensable in most poultry production systems in Africa, yet these grains ...
The numbers of inhalable bacteria were quantified after 3 and 7 days of incubation on 100 % Nutrient agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK) with actidione (cycloheximide; 50 mg/l (Serva, Germany)) at 25 °C. The exposure to fungi and bacteria are expressed as TWA in colony forming units (cfu) ...
Agar plates were inoculated with a Pleurotus ostreatus inoculum syringe using a 2 mL inoculum/Petri plate and incubated at 30 °C for 10 days. These plates were used as the starter culture for the SSF. Kibbles were subjected to fungal SSF using the following method. 20 g of the material ...
Beneficial microorganisms are used to stimulate the germination of seeds; however, their growth-promoting mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Bacillus subtilis is commonly found in association with different plant organs, providing protection against p
The dry weight and total GAs for each treatment were measured, using potato dextrose agar (PDA) media culture as a control. The effect of different concentrations of the above chemicals was also tested (Fig. 2). In our hands, MCC could not be dissolved in any solvent, but it could be ...
a CDK inhibitory kinase and cyclin binding partner. A model of mitotic progression has been provided by study of filamentous yeast. When facing nutrient-limited conditions, Ras2-mediated PKA and MAPK signaling cascades induce a switch from round to filamentous morphology resulting in delayed mitotic ...
However, the principles and conclusions apply equally to other measures of com- petitive success, such as body weight or plant yield, and to situations where the limitation concerns the rate of nutrient supply, rather than the total amount. Materials and methods Competition took place in glass ...
the midgut that digest the bloodmeal [12,13,14,15]. ECD released from follicle cells is converted to 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in fat body adipocytes, which together with nutrient signaling via the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway stimulates the synthesis of vitellogenin (Vg) and other yolk ...
This test involves placing test material on a nutrient salt agar plate, spraying the sample with a mixture of fungal spores and incubating the sample. In a further embodiment, the molded products of the present invention meet the applicable requirements set forth in these tests for one or more...
