Skim milk agar plates are used to provide a nutritious medium for growing micro-organisms. Once prepared, the agar can be plated with a population of micro-organisms to test for the micro-organism's ability to digest casein protein. Casein is a large insoluble protein found in skim milk. As...
The API 20E test is used in antibiotic stewardship programs, in addition to guide antibiotic selection. It aids in the sensible and appropriate use of antibiotics by providing precise and speedy identification of bacteria, lowering the risk of prescriptions and improving optimal patient care. This te...
During the stationary phase, cells switch to a survival mode of metabolism. As growth slows, so too does the synthesis of peptidoglycans, proteins, and nucleic-acids; thus, stationary cultures are less susceptible to antibiotics that disrupt these processes. In bacteria capable of producing endospor...
Furthermore, agar-diffusion methods are difficult to run on high-capacity screening platforms. 7.1.2. Dilution methods In the dilution methods, test compounds are mixed with a suitable medium that has previously been inoculated with the test organism. It can be carried out in liquid as well as...
which is nevertheless limited to low value-added applications in current industry. In order to add high values of the rosin-derived biomaterials, we have herein succeeded a new class of BioAIEgens from the abundant and low-cost natural rosin via facile Schiff base reactions. As expected, the ...
IMTPs were performed on floor integrated triaxle force plates (AMTI, ACP-A, Waterton, MA, USA) sampling at 1000 Hz. IMTP was assessed using a custom-built steel rack fixed to the ground. Participants were asked to stand with a knee angle of 135–145° and a hip angle of 140–150°...
Estimations of culturable bacteria at 37 °C (including human potential pathogens) in seawater samples were performed by the spread plate method using Bacto Plate Count Agar medium (PCA, seeding with 0.1 mL of sample). The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 48 h. 2.6.3. Microbial Pollution...

fusiformis cultures, the classic LB-agar-plate test is an inappropriate method to verify axenicity. This result is not surprising because most microorganisms, in particular oligotrophs, do not readily grow on agar plates. This phenomenon was already described 40 years back as the “great plate ...
The water from the last rinse was collected in a 15 mL Falcon tube and half the volume was seeded on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium in duplicate; the other half was subjected to DNA extraction for the validation of the disinfection method. After surface disinfection, the samples were ...
