Evaluation of antibacterial activity of Australian basidiomycetous macrofungi using a high-throughput 96-well plate assay.
CONTEXT The production of antimicrobial compounds by macrofungi is not unexpected because they have to compete with other organisms for survival in their natural hostile environment. Previous studies have indicated that macrofungi contain secondary metabolites with a range of pharmacological activities including antimicrobial agents. OBJECTIVE To investigate macrofungi for antimicrobial activ...
متن کاملA High Sensitivity, High Throughput, Automated Single-Cell Gel Electrophoresis (‘Comet’) DNA Damage Assay
We present an arrangement for performing, in an automated fashion, measurements of DNA damage and repair at the single cell level, using single-cell gel electrophoresis technique, more commonly known as the Comet Assay. The system is based on a standard motorised microscope and imaging components but sample scanning is performed through the capture of large, but high resolution images. Novel an...
متن کاملNovel method for the high-throughput processing of slides for the comet assay
Single cell gel electrophoresis (the comet assay), continues to gain popularity as a means of assessing DNA damage. However, the assay's low sample throughput and laborious sample workup procedure are limiting factors to its application. "Scoring", or individually determining DNA damage levels in 50 cells per treatment, is time-consuming, but with the advent of high-throughput scoring, the limi...
متن کاملAutomated Imaging and Analysis of a Novel Comet Assay to Enable High Throughput Genotoxicity Testing
Human contact to genotoxins is inevitable, as agents detrimental to our DNA are present in our environment, and also a result of our own cellular metabolism where they can contribute to cell death, gene mutations, and even cancer, disease and aging1,2,3,4. At the same time, therapeutic approaches such as chemotherapy and radiation treatment rely on initiation of tumor cell genotoxicity to produ...
متن کاملUsing a medium-throughput comet assay to evaluate the global DNA methylation status of single cells
The comet assay is a simple and cost effective technique, commonly used to analyze and quantify DNA damage in individual cells. The versatility of the comet assay allows introduction of various modifications to the basic technique. The difference in the methylation sensitivity of the isoschizomeric restriction enzymes HpaII and MspI are used to demonstrate the ability of the comet assay to meas...
