background: this study was conducted to evaluate fibroblast co-culture and activin a on in vitro maturation and fertilization of mouse preantral follicles. methods: the ovaries from 12-14-day-old mice were dissected, and 120-150 μm preantral follicles were cultured individually in α-mem as based medium for 12 days. a total number of 456 follicles were cultured in four conditions: (i) base mediu...

among pome fruit trees, quince is the most susceptible tree to fire blight. following selection of several promising quince cultivars, this research aimed at optimization of in vitro propagation protocol of the selected materials. therefore, several experiments were carried out for determination of the best culture medium and plant growth regulators for establishment, proliferation and root ind...

In many countries, studies to determine the severity of desertification and providing land plans to implement desertification. One of the models is modified MEDALUS or Iranian model (IMDPA), has been used in present research in order to investigate desertification situation in the Tashk region of Fars province. In this research, the modified IMDPA model used with emphasis on the water, soil and...

The effect of four culture media (two complex and undefined [Sabouraud glucose and Kimmig] and two synthetic and defined [synthetic amino acid medium, fungal, and modified yeast nitrogen base]) on the activity in vitro of two newer azole compounds (BAY n 7133 and ketoconazole) was assessed with five strains each of Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, and Cryptococcus neoformans. Also, the n...

Accurate identification and optimal culturing procedures for Campylobacter spp. from live broilers are needed for epidemiological studies. Because there is no standardized protocol, we designed and conducted studies to evaluate different selective media for the culturing and isolation of Campylobacter spp. from cecal and fecal samples obtained from battery-reared and commercial broilers. Five m...

Only a small percentage of the heterotrophic bacteria encountered in water distribution systems are identifiable, because of these organisms fail to grow on the conventional media used for biochemical characterization. Organisms that would not subculture from the same standard plate count agar used for initial isolation were successfully subcultured on a low-nutrient medium, R3A. These cultures...
