The genus was traditionally divided into two groups based on their lipid dependency in culture media. Malassezia pachydermatis has long been regarded as unique within the genus in that it can be cultivated routinely on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar without lipid supplementation (hence “lipophilic” ...
pseudomallei samples from the northeast Thailand collection were cultured on Ashdown, selective agar plates and confirmed the species using latex agglutination test and matrix-laser absorption ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A single colony from Ashdown agar plate was subjected to culture ...
the subculture was observed microscopically. This subculture was used to inoculate 2 × 300 ml of GYM broth (pH 7.8) in 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks by cutting out a block from the well-grown GYM agar plate from the 7–21-days incubation. The flasks were...
Finally, the formation of colonies in soft agar was suppressed by fisetin treatment. Taken together, we provide evidence that the plant flavonoid fisetin can induce apoptosis and suppress the growth of colon cancer cells by inhibition of COX2- and Wnt/EGFR/NF-B-signaling pathways. We suggest ...
Samples were serially diluted and plated on solid media containing tryptic soy agar (20 g/L), brain heart infusion agar (26 g/L), yeast extract (10 g/L), sheep blood (5% vol/vol), hemin (5 μg/mL), menadione (0.3 μg/mL), and N-acetyl muramic acid (10 ug/mL) for...
Which pathogen (Staphylococcus epidermidis or E. coli) is able to grow on Blood Agar plate and why? Is this type of agar serving as differential, as selective, or as both? Explain why. What antibiotics is klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to?
All succumbed and survived mice to infection were tested postmortem for K2 loads by plating extracts from different tissues for growth on LB media which solidified with 1.5% Bacto Agar and CFU counts method. Genotyping Representatives of 48 of the 73 CC lines used in this study had been genotyp...
Bathing solution is connected to the silver wire either via agar bridges or glass tubes (with ceramic tip) filled with KCl solution. Because agar bridges have the disadvantage of air bubble formation, we recommend the use of glass tubes. However, agar bridges are advantageous for serial ...
Phycocolloid agar is the common name for a family of polysaccharides obtained from some families of red macroalgae, mainly Gracilariaceae and Gelidiaceae. Agar is essentially a mixture of the neutral polymer agarose, pyruvate agarose and sulfated galactans. The charged residues are present in the ...
“cellular, biochemical or molecular alterations that are measurable in biological media such as human tissue, cells or fluids” [2]) would be much faster if they could be assayed in blood. Potential application of biomarkers includes monitoring therapy response, predicting clinical outcome, and ...
