Differential primary plating medium for enhancement of pigment production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A cost-effective and more rapid means of detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cultures from clinical specimens would be very advantageous. We have developed a modified MacConkey agar (MMA), which enhances pigment production of P. aeruginosa and which, if pyocyanin pigment is present, provides a relatively rapid and very cost-effective identification. The MMA medium inhibits the gram-positive ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Growth and Rhamnolipid Production Using Iron-Silica Nanoparticles in Low-Cost Medium
The application of iron-silica (Fe-Si) nanoparticles for the enhancement of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and rhamnolipid production in molasses medium was studied. The experiments were designed based on the response surface method (RSM) to optimize growth and rhamnolipid production. The concentration of nanoparticles and the time required to add nanoparticles to culture medium were conside...
متن کاملImproved Production of Rhamnolipids by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mutant
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant derived by random mutagenesis with N-methyl-N¢-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, producing high levels of the rhamnolipid biosurfactants was selected on Siegmund-Wagner (SW) plates. The mutant designated P. aeruginosa PTCC1637 produces rhamnolipids at concentrations 10 time more than parent strain. NMR analysis and surface tension measurement showed that the biosurfactan...
متن کاملModified Pseudomonas agar: new differential medium for the detection/enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mineral water.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been implicated as a foodborne and waterborne pathogen and is now considered a primary infectious agent. In the present study, the survival of P. aeruginosa inoculated in mineral water was evaluated by drop counts on Pseudomonas Agar Base (PAB), PAB with CN supplement X107, PAB with cetrimide, PAB with nalidixic acid, and these media with added FeSO(4). Initial counts...
متن کاملMedia for the enhancement of fluorescent pigment production by Pseudomonas species.
By a simple modification, common commercial dehydrated laboratory media can be used for the evaluation of fluorescent pigment excretion by Pseudomonas species. The addition of sufficient sterile egg white or of the iron-binding egg white protein, conalbumin, to bind all the iron in these media converted them to efficient diagnostic media. The amount of egg white found to be satisfactory was 10%...
