چکیده

Both plant and animal materials have been utilized in the cultivation of members of the Genus Clostridium, chiefly in the form of mashes and infusions (McClung and McCoy, 1934, and Castell, 1942). Thioglycollate broth, introduced by Brewer in 1940, was the first light, transparent medium capable of growing clostridia without anaerobic jars, which could be stored for weeks and used without preheating. This medium contains meat infusion and gives excellent results with aerobes and with pathogenic and proteolytic anaerobes, but grows the butyric group of clostridia irregularly and only when comparatively large inocula are used (McClung, 1940). This fact led to an investigation of readily available and inexpensive sources for basic media suitable for the cultivation of butyric-acid and butyl-alcohol-producing clostridia as well as of the more readily cultivable species. In 1943 Brewer described a method for digestion of vegetable materials with papain and he stated that, when used in thioglycollate media, such materials were capable of supporting the growth of most butyric organisms.

Determination of the most suitable time for starting cultivation Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931) in Gomishan Site (Golestan Province)

Regarding climate change, it is important to determine the most suitable time for starting its cultivation on the site of Gomishan shrimp. For this purpose, in range of air temperature (15-25°C), 21°C was chosen as the base temperature for Gomishan area. This experiment was conducted in 8 terrestrial ponds that were different of density (350000, 182000, 100000 ind/he and time of stocking; 18 Ju...
