The nitrogen composition and metabolism of the typical animal microorganisms are relatively unknown. This is true largely because of the past unavailability of the Protozoa either in pure culture or in synthetic media. The ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena geleii, is unique in that it has been available in pure culture for some time and recently (1949) it has been grown in synthetic medium (2). I...

The basic requirements for high-density photoautotrophic microalgal cultures in enclosed photobioreactors are a powerful light source and proper distribution of light, efficient gas exchange, and suitable medium composition. This article introduces the concept of balancing the elemental composition of growth medium with biomass composition to obtain high-density cultures. N-8 medium, commonly u...

dissolution of phosphate by p solubilizing microorganisms is dependent on the environmental conditions and the composition of the medium culture. present study conducted to investigate the effect of two fungal species, moisture content and rock phosphate content on water soluble phosphate (wsp), ph and changes of medium weight with time. two fungi aspergillus niger and one isolate from rock pho...

results however the maximum production of avermectin b1b (17 mg/l) was obtained by using sm2 growth medium containing soluble corn starch, yeast extract, kcl, caco3 and mgso4 which was detected qualitatively by using tlc and quantitatively by hplc. conclusions maximum production was observed with initial medium ph of 7, 10% inoculum size with incubation temperature of 31°c for 10 days of fermen...

the development of culture media able to mimic the preovulatory stage of follicular environment and support nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of oocyte is important for in-vitro fertilization (ivf) programs. it seems that the best culture media for embryonic development and cell cleavage is the natural composition which surrounds the oocyte which has been used occasionally in human ivf program...

The composition of a synthetic culture medium for levorin biosynthesis by Streptomyces levoris 99/23 was optimised using mathematical modelling methods. The optimal concentrations of the medium components were established by means of an optimum composition design at three factor variation levels. An adequate regression model was obtained. Levorin biosynthesis by Streptomyces levoris 99/23 in th...
