In two independent experiments, acclimatized chicory plants were transferred into an aeroponic system and to the soil. Then, the effects of biofertilizer (Nitrokara) and culture filtrate of Piriformospora indica were investigated on some plant characteristics in both aeroponic and soil cultivation system under greenhouse conditions. The plants were foliar sprayed with three different biofertili...

Sodium polyanetholesulfonate (SPS) is used as a routine supplement to blood culture media to enhance recovery of microorganisms, but it inhibits the growth of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Streptobacillus moniliformis. Comparative clinical blood culture studies at the University of Colorado Hospital suggested that SPS also inhibits the growth ...

Systematic studies of mouse embryo culture beginning in 1949 led to an understanding of essential medium components for early mammalian embryos, and embryo culture from the zygote to the blastocyst stage was achieved in 1968. Since then, medium components that are either beneficial or detrimental for embryo culture have been identified. A variety of culture media that mimic the female reproduct...

The Purdue University Press monograph series of Books in Comparative Cultural Studies publishes single-authored and thematic collected volumes of new scholarship. Manuscripts are invited for publication in the series in fields of the study of culture, literature, the arts, media studies, communication studies, the history of ideas, etc., and related disciplines of the humanities and social scie...

fig trees are threatened by the attack of fig mosaic disease (fmd) on leaves and fruits caused by viruses of several genera. shoot-tip culture is a convenient method for viral sanitation. for this purpose, a reliable protocol for rapid in vitro propagation was developed with shoot-tips of three major tunisian local fig (ficus carica l.) varieties zidi (zdi), soltani (sni), bither abiadh (ba) an...

background: the optimization of bioprocess conditions towards improved growth profile and productivity yield is considered of great importance in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. peptones as efficient sources of nutrients have been studied for their effect on media development however, their role on metabolic pathway is not well understood. methods: in the present study, the effect of different...
