چکیده

Embryos and larvae of Xenopus laevis are contaminated with a wide range of micro-organisms from the maternal cloaca. Primary monolayer cultures prepared from them were usually destroyed by endogenous contaminants. Fungal contamination was readily eliminated by the usual procedures. The high incidence of bacterial contamination was not reduced by penicillin, streptomycin, tetracycline or combinations of the three. Contamination by Gram-negative bacilli, especially Proteus and Pseudomonas, remained. Treatment with carbenicillin, gentamicin or the combination of polymyxin E with kanamycin usually eliminated all infection. The cytotoxicity of effective antibiotics was tested. The basic requirements of a method for eliminating endogenous bacterial contamination and the relative merits of the three effective treatments are discussed.

Preparation of Nitrogen-Doped Graphene By Solvothermal Process as Supporting Material for Fuel Cell Catalysts

Development of efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the most important issues for optimizing the performance of fuel cells and metal-air batteries. The introduction of nitrogen into carbon nanostructures has created new pathways for the development of non-precious electrocatalysts in fuel cells. In this work, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) was synthesized by a ...
