SIMPLE METHOD FOR ESTIMATING SLIDE CULTURE SURVIVAL

Modified method for fungal slide culture.

A modified slide culture method which combines advantages found in several slide culture methods is described. A block of inoculated nutrient agar sandwiched between two sterile cover glasses is placed in a plastic petri dish containing water agar. After adequate growth has occurred, the slide culture is disassembled and mounted in a conventional manner.

Simple method for estimating trypsin.

A slide culture method for streptomycin sensitivity testing.

Ever since Koch first cultivated the tubercle bacillus, methods have been sought to hasten its growth (in vitro). In his original communication Koch’ described a technique of examining cultures of tubercle bacilli grown in coagulated blood serum placed in watch glasses or hollow glass slides. He examined these preparations by low-power magnification and was able to detect growth in one week. Pr...

A Simple Method for Estimating Survival Rate from Catch Rates from Multiple Years

—Survival rates can be estimated from annual surveys by tracking the abundance of one or more cohorts, as measured by catch per unit of sampling effort, from one year to the next. However, it can be difficult to attain reasonable precision unless sampling effort is extensive. Indeed, estimates of survival exceeding 100% are not infrequently obtained. We show that data from several years can be ...
