Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH. Generally a pH of 7.4 is maintained. The osmolarity and ion concentrations of the solution usually match those of the human body.

Applications. Plant tissue culture is used widely in the plant sciences, forestry, and in horticulture. ... Large-scale growth of plant cells in liquid culture in bioreactors for production of valuable compounds, like plant-derived secondary metabolites and recombinant proteins used as biopharmaceuticals.

A bacterial sputum culture is used to detect and diagnose bacterial lower respiratory tract infections such as bacterial pneumonia or bronchitis. It is typically performed with a Gram stain to identify the bacteria causing a person's infection.

Ampicillin, a broad-spectrum penicillin, interferes with bacterial cell-wall synthesis during active replication, causing bactericidal activity against susceptible organisms. It is used as an alternative to amoxicillin.

Broth cultures are a method of growing bacteria in a liquid growth medium. They're used to grow and maintain cultures for a laboratory. Different bacteria may grow differently in broth cultures.

Phosphate buffered saline (abbreviated as PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. It is a salty solution containing sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, and (in some formulations) potassium chloride and potassium phosphate.

A pure culture contains one cell and a mixed culture contains many cells. How can a pure or mixed cutlure become contaminated? ... They become contaminated when another unwanted microbe goes into the medium.

The bacterial cell wall performs several functions as well, in addition to providing overall strength to the cell. It also helps maintain the cell shape, which is important for how the cell will grow, reproduce, obtain nutrients, and move.

PBS can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator. However, concentrated stock solutions may precipitate when cooled and should be kept at room temperature until precipitate has completely dissolved before use.

The MIC is the lowest concentration of your drug that inhibits bacterial growth so you will have no turbidity in your culture media. But MBC is the lowest concentration that kills bacteria. Usually the concentration which is considered as MBC is higher than the concentration for MIC.

Growing cultures of bacteria on solid media (agar plate or slant) permits us to view and identify colonial characteristics, and also provides a way to separate bacteria in a mixed culture.

PNA is a synthetic Peptide Nucleic Acid made up of oligonucleotide bases with a peptide backbone. The PNA probe is fluorescently labeled and binds to species-specific 16S ribosomal RNA. Once a blood culture turns positive, a Gram stain is performed and based on the results the appropriate PNA FISH test is selected.

The manner in which bacteria are cultivated, and the purpose of culture media, varies widely. ... Agar is used because of its unique physical properties (it melts at 100oC and remains liquid until cooled to 40oC, the temperature at which it gels) and because it cannot be metabolized by most bacteria.

Background. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) granules are important storage compounds of carbon and energy in many prokaryotes which allow survival of the cells in the absence of suitable carbon sources.

Do not reuse running buffers if you are planning Southern or Western experiments, they might give a higher background. Also, NEVER reuse TAE/TBE if you plan to isolate restriction fragments for cloning/subcloning.

Phosphate-buffered saline (abbreviated PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH.
