Improved method of screening for aflatoxin with a coconut agar medium.
Nine isolates of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus were screened for aflatoxin production on a coconut extract agar medium. Aflatoxin-producing colonies were detected under long-wave UV light (365 nm) by blue fluorescence on the reverse side after 2 to 5 days of growth. Aflatoxin production was verified by chemical analysis. Several types of shredded coconut available in the United...
متن کاملAn improved agar medium for growth of Geobacillus thermoglucosidarius strains.
Geobacillus species have potential applications in many biotechnological processes. They are fastidious in their vitamin and amino acid requirements. A new semi-defined agar medium (SDM) was developed which gave consistently high viable cell counts of various G. thermoglucosidasius strains (5×108-6×108cfu/ml) under aerobic conditions at 70°C.
متن کاملImferon agar: improved medium for isolation of pathogenic Neisseria.
Imferon, an iron-dextran complex, enhances the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. The use of Imferon as a replacement for ferric nitrate, in a defined supplement for GC agar significantly increased the average colony sizes of both gonococci and meningococci. In comparison with Thayer-Martin medium, Imferon agar increased the speed and rate of isolation of gonococci from clinic...
متن کاملAflatoxin-producing strains of Aspergillus flavus detected by fluorescence of agar medium under ultraviolet light.
The fluorescence method of detecting aflatoxin-producing strains of Aspergillus flavus and related species utilizes the ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of aflatoxin produced in a modified Czapek's solution agar containing corn steep liquor, HgCl(2), and (NH(4))H(2)PO(4) instead of NaNO(3). The presence of aflatoxin is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography of CHCl(3) extracts of the fluorescin...
متن کاملA new agar medium suitable for screening of anti-clostridium agents.
Pseudomembranouscolitis is one of the serious infectious diseases with a high mortality. It tends to occur in association with antibiotic therapy, especially with broad spectrum antibacterial agents. The major causative pathogen is the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium difficileP This bacterium is extremely sensitive to oxygen, and requires strict anaerobic conditions for growth. Once exposed to ...
