Many factors may influence the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis. This capability may be differ with regard to media compositions, genotype, tissue, organ ontology and the stage of differentiation. The effects of five salicylic acid concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) on different stages of carrot somatic embryogenesis were studied using petiole and root secondary phloem explants as sta...

Tropane alkaloids present a great economic value in particular for pharmaceutical industry. The culture of Datura sp hairy roots obtained by inoculation with A4 Agrobacterium rhizogenes offers promising prospects for alkaloids in-vitro production. The objective of our study is to try optimizing hyoscyamine production exploiting the composition of mineral fraction of the culture media. On the wh...

Bacterial cultures of bacillus species capable of producing bacitracin were isolated from local habitats (garden soil, timber yard soil and sea water) and screened for the production of bacitracin on nutrient media against test organisms viz: Micrococcus luteus,(ATCC 9341) & Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 13565).Optimization of culture conditions and media composition for bacitracin production was...

Using a freezing-thawing method for extracting colicine from solid media it has been shown that the choice of media for production and diffusion is important. Digest nutrient agar yielded the most colicine and peptone water agar the least. A factor in bacteriological peptone, but absent in a proteose peptone (Difco) and Neopeptone, was responsible for inhibiting production on peptone water agar...

The media industry is currently being pulled in the often-opposing directions of increased realism (high resolution, stereoscopic, large screen) and personalisation (selection and control of content, availability on many devices). A capture, production, delivery and rendering system capable of supporting both these trends is being developed by the EU-funded FascinatE project. In this paper, dif...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Cyclosporins are produced by certain species of the filamentous fungi, belonging to the genus Tolypocladium. While there are numerous reports on the use of cyclosporins in clinical studies, reports on the various aspects of their production have been very limited. Therefore, this study was carried to optimize the medium composition for the production of cyclosporin A, pro...

Ex vivo expansion of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be a promising strategy to overcome the clinical problem of limited cell numbers. As the culture medium is the key for the cell characteristics, the effects of different culture media on EPCs were investigated in the present study. Rat bone marrow mononuclear cells were cultured in different media, including M-199 media with 20% fetal...

Depuis les prévisions d’Adorno et Horkheimer à propos de la Kulturindustrie, dimension idéologique l’art est étroitement pensée articulée aux conditions matérielles sa production diffusion. La tâche des artistes résiderait ainsi dans recherche d’un style, compris non plus comme un travail du fond forme interne l’objet d’art, mais positionnement spécifique face industries culturelles : celui rés...
