Jones, Galen E. (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, La Jolla). Effect of chelating agents on the growth of Escherichia coli in seawater. J. Bacteriol. 87:483-499. 1964.-Escherichia coli did not grow at 37 C, or grew only after a prolonged lag phase in filter-sterilized basal seawater medium (synthetic or natural seawater supplemented with glucose, NH(4)Cl, and K(2)HP...

Low glucose condition induces neuronal cell-death via intracellular mechanisms including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways. It has been shown that low glucose medium decreases neuronal survival in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). In this study, we have examined the activation of JNK, p38kinase and ERK1/2 pathways in low glucose medium in CGNs. The CGNs were prepared ...

Stabilized shoot cultures initiated from crown material of six adult Quercus robur L. trees and from basal epicormic shoots of a Quercus rubra L. tree showed good in vitro rooting capacity. An initial five-day dark period generally improved the rooting response but was detrimental to plantlet quality. There were clonal differences in rooting capacity. The concentration and exposure time of the ...

level: intermediAte Most biopharmaceutical production platforms are based on fed-batch cell culture protocols, which can support high volumetric productivity while maintaining low operational complexity (1). The industry is interested in developing or refining high-titer cell culture processes to meet increasing market demands and reduce manufacturing costs (2). Although advancements in cell en...

Pyrus spinosa Forssk. (almond-leaved pear) is a wild-growing native tree of the hilly countryside Greece, which has recently gained interest for its valuable endogenous substances. In present work, determination total phenol content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) was carried out during 2021 2022 in leaves from 32 genotypes mature trees at four different locations Central Macedonia District...

cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) as a member of the apiaceae family is one of the most important medicinal plants in iran. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and explant type on callus induction in cumin. for this purpose the cumin seeds (kuhbanan accession) were disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and alcohol and cultured on ms basal medium. leaf and hyp...

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in absence of exogenous auxin can clarify some basic concepts of somatic embryogenesis.  Explants from leaf and petiole of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were used in this experiment for somatic embryogenesis using three different modified B5 basal media; boron and 2,4-D but no IAA as control (I), boron and IAA but no 2,4-D (II) and no boron, 2,4-D and IAA (III). ...

To explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of Fagonia indica Burm., cotyledon explants were obtained from 10-day old aseptically germinated seedlings that cultured on MS medium which supplemented with 1.0-5.0 µM 2,4-D. Callus was initiated from cotyledon explant on MS medium supplemented in all concentrations of 2,4-D investigated. 2,4-D was more effective than IAA and NAA for cal...

This study was designed to determine whether methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) can substitute for albumin in incubation medium for neonatal swine adipose tissue explants, or whether MCD affects metabolism and cytokine expression. Subcutaneous adipose tissue explants (100 ± 10 mg) were prepared from 21-day-old pigs. Explants were incubated in medium 199 supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, 1.0 nM insulin at...

Plantlets grown in conventional tissue culture systems usually encounter physiological and anatomical abnormalities including inability to photosynthesize, low chlorophyll content, open stomata, lack of a cuticle layer in the leaf, abnormal xylem parenchyma etc. Photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic systems could diminish these problems. The purpose of this study was to increase the chlorophyll...
