Enhancing Bioaerosol Sampling by Andersen Impactors Using Mineral-Oil-Spread Agar Plate
As a bioaerosol sampling standard, Andersen type impactor is widely used since its invention in 1950s, including the investigation of the anthrax attacks in the United States in 2001. However, its related problems such as impaction and desiccation stress as well as particle bounce have not been solved. Here, we improved its biological collection efficiencies by plating a mineral oil layer (100 ...
متن کاملThe influence of sampling duration on recovery of culturable fungi using the Andersen N6 and RCS bioaerosol samplers.
UNLABELLED The influence of sampling duration on recovery of culturable fungi was compared using the Andersen N6 and the Reuter Centrifugal Sampler (RCS). Samplers were operated side-by-side, collecting 15 samples each of incrementally increasing duration (1-15 min). From 270 samples collected, 26 fungal genera were recovered. Species of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Penicil...
متن کاملImproved agar gradient-plate technique.
MIC of antimicrobial compounds, it is essential to have uniform microbial growth on the agar medium; otherwise, it is difficult to determine a sharply defined area of growth inhibition. The conventional agar gradient-plate method has been found to be unsatisfactory for determining the MIC of chemotherapeutic compounds or antibiotics which inhibit filamentous fungi because the latter frequently ...
متن کاملStudies with the Agar Cup-Plate Method: I. A Standardized Agar Cup-Plate Technique.
Official Circular 198 (Ruehle and Brewer, 1931) gives directions for performing the agar cup-plate test. However, in the limited literature dealing with the subject, no mention is made of the influence of varying the volume of agar, the amount of inoculum, the hydrogen ion concentration or other factors. In the course of other studies with the agar cup-plate method (Rose and Miller, 1939; Mille...
متن کاملDetection of bacterial gelatinases by gelatin-agar plate methods.
Many methods have been devised to detect the action of bacterial cultures in or on gelatin media. The traditional gelatin stab technique involves incubation of the culture below the thermal liquefaction point of the gelatin in order to inaintain the gel structure so that the shape and size of the liquefied portion can be observed. A long incubation time is usually required. Bertiau (1914) sugge...
