Applications of fluorophore-containing microbial growth media.

چکیده
Media containing the fluorogenic compound 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid may be used to discriminate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and to differentiate between various species of bacteria. Fluorescent light emitted from colonies of gram-negative bacteria on 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid-containing agar was visually more intense than that on gram-positive bacteria. The emitted light from the gram-negative bacteria differed in wave-lengths from that of light emitted by colonies of gram-positive bacteria. The fluorescent intensity of colonies on complete 8-anilino-1-napthalene sulfonic acid agar supplemented with 1% of single substrates varied depending on the bacterial species, thus allowing the development of profiles used to identify 12 different species.

Effect of single additive bivalent metal ions on the growth of Streptomyces clavuligerus and clavulanic acid production
Metal ions are the main impurities of water and media ingredients used in fermentation processes. In this research, the effect of Ca+2, Co+2, Cu+2, Fe+2, Mg+2, Mn+2 and Zn+2 as chloride and sulfate salts was studied on the clavulanic acid production and Streptomyces clavuligerus growth. All chloride salts had negative effect on clavulanic acid production and no clavulanic acid was produced in t...
متن کاملBacterial responses to environmental herbicide pollutants (glyphosate and paraquat)
The toxic effect of herbicides on non- target microorganisms may influence degradation of organic matter resulting in changes to nutrient cycling. In the present study, different strains of bacteria incubated in media containing different concentrations of glyphosate and paraquat were assessed over a period of two incubation terms. The deleterious impact of the herbicide was observed as glyphos...
متن کاملTwo color RNA intercalating probe for cell imaging applications.
Here we report on a phenanthridine derivative which has a covalently linked fluorescein molecule in order to increase the light absorption and hence fluorescence signal intensity when bound to duplex RNA. Steady-state fluorescence shows that the energy transfer efficiency from the fluorescein to the phenanthridine fluorophore is approximately 77%, which results in the probe being over 5x bright...
متن کاملGrowth rate assessment of high lipid producing microalga Botryococcus braunii in different culture media
The green colonial microalga, Botryococcus braunii is well known for its high lipid content and has already been proposed as a renewable energy source for various aquaculture and biotechnological applications. However, due to its slow growth rate compared with other microalgae, B. braunii has not yet been used in mass culture to produce more biomass. Therefore, in this study we tested different...
متن کاملFluorescent diffuse photon density waves in homogeneous and heterogeneous turbid media: analytic solutions and applications.
We present analytic solutions for fluorescent diffuse photon density waves originating from fluorophores distributed in thick turbid media. Solutions are derived for a homogeneous turbid medium containing a uniform distribution of fluorophores and for a system that is homogeneous except for the presence of a single spherical inhomogeneity Generally the inhomogeneity has fluorophore concentratio...
