Algal cultures have been freed of bacterial contamination by a procedure involving treatment with a detergent and phenol, followed by plating on an agar medium for selection of pure cultures.

Software is viewed as an artifact which interacts with cultures of societies in which it functions. Software manufacturers make efforts to adapt the appearance of their products to aesthetic and historical values of the markets in which they are sold (“software for cultures”). It is well known that software embeds behavioral and organizational principles that are culture-determined (“cultures i...

In order to generalize the dimensional structure of personality—relatively independent groups of covarying traits—across languages and cultures, a large number of cultures must be studied. Until recently only a few worldwide personality datasets have been available. The first large–scale studies indicate that the pattern of covariation between personality traits is universal and is relatively e...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of preoperative eyelash trimming on periocular bacterial flora. methods: one hundred patients divided into two groups. fifty cases (group 1) had eyelash trimming prior to phacoemulsification and other fifty patients (group 2) did not. none of the study participants had been diagnosed as having an active ocular infection prior to surgery. patients taking topical a...

Background and objectives: Silymarin is a unique flavonoid complex with documented hepatoprotective properties. Silybum  marianum hairy root culture as a source for producing silymarin has been an important strategy for study the cell signaling pathway. In the present investigation Trichoderma strains- Silybum marianum hairy root cultures interactions have been studie...

In this review, we discuss the use of a variety of 3-D models (particularly 3-D skin, lung, breast and endothelial) in radiobiological research and highlight the differences in responses compared to 2-D culturing conditions (monolayers). We review the characteristics of existing 3-D models and aim to point out the substantial advantages 3-D cultures provide for modern radiobiology. In particula...

The enzymatic potential of the cultured plant cells can be employed for bioconversion purposes. Plant enzymes are able to catalyze regio- and stereo-specific reactions, and therefore can be applied for the production of desired substances. The biotransformation of foreign substrates with suspension cells of Peganum harmala was tested with (±) phenylethyl propionate. The callus cultures of Pegan...
