TELLURITE-EGG AGAR, A SELECTIVE AND DIFFERENTIAL MEDIUM FOR THE ISOLATION OF COAGULASE POSITIVE STAPHYLOCOCCI

SUMMARY: The preparation and use of tellurite-egg agar (TEA), a medium for the isolation of coagulase positive staphylococci, are described. The medium, based on that of Ludlam (1949), was non-inhibitory to coagulase positive staphylococci and colonies on it of these organisms could easily be distinguished from contaminating types. Comparisons were made between the medium and three other media in common use for the isolation of coagulase positive staphylococci.     

雪腐格氏霉选择性培养基研究

以尿素作氮源,甘油作碳源,对雪腐格氏霉(Gerlachia nivalis)有较强的选择加富作用,Fe-Na-EDTA和生物素对其分生孢子萌发和菌落生长有促进作用,五氯硝基苯、敌克松、瑞毒霉是较好的选择抑制剂。据此,提出了雪腐格氏霉选择性培养基配方:KH_2PO_4 1.0g,MgSO_4·7H_2O 0.5g,Fe-Na-EDTA 0.01g,尿素0.5g,甘油2.0g,生物素0.005mg,五氯硝基苯20ppm,敌克松14PPm瑞毒霉5PPm,硫酸链霉素100单位/ml,氨苄青霉素50μg/ml,琼脂18g,蒸馏水1000ml。该培养基可促进雪腐格氏霉孢子萌发和菌落生长,可抑制多种常见土壤真菌生长。     

DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED MEDIUM FOR THE ISOLATION OF LIVER MITOCHONDRIA

In view of the unsatisfactory appearance, under the electron microscope, of liver mitochondria isolated in isotonic sucrose medium, alternative media have been examined. It was found to be advantageous to replace sucrose by raffinose, and to add levan or, preferably, dextran, together with heparin in suitable concentration. With the optimal medium, the constituents of which are raffinose, versene (optional), dextran of high molecular weight, heparin, and AMP (optional), most of the mitochondria in the osmium-fixed pellet are apparently intact, and show the membranes characteristic of mitochondria as seen in cell sections. The optimal medium has no adverse effect on the activity of the several tissue enzymes which have been studied, except that Mg⁺⁺-activated ATPase is partially inhibited if the medium is present in high concentration in the assay system. Mitochondrial fractions isolated in the new medium have, in common with sucrose fractions, appreciable "free" ATPase activity, this activity being evidently a poor criterion of mitochondrial integrity. Use of the new medium does not decrease the proportion of cytoplasmic ATPase which fails to sediment with the mitochondria, but does give a mitochondrial fraction low in RNA and in acid phosphatase activity and little contaminated with microsomal material. Particles tentatively identified as "lysosomes" have been seen in certain sections.     

SODIUM CHLORIDE AND SELECTIVE DIFFUSION IN LIVING ORGANISMS

1. It is shown that NaCl acts like CaCl₂ or LaCl₃ in preventing the diffusion of strong acids through the membrane of the egg of Fundulus with this difference only that a M/8 solution of NaCl acts like a M/1,000 solution of CaCl₂ and like a M/30,000 solution of LaCl₃. 2. It is shown that these salts inhibit the diffusion of non-dissociated weak acid through the membrane of the Fundulus egg but slightly if at all. 3. Both NaCl and CaCl₂ accelerate the diffusion of dissociated strong alkali through the egg membrane of Fundulus and CaCl₂ is more efficient in this respect than NaCl. 4. It is shown that in moderate concentrations NaCl accelerates the rate of diffusion of KCl through the membrane of the egg of Fundulus while CaCl₂ does not.     

放线菌分离培养基筛选及杂菌抑制方法研究

采用平板涂抹分离法研究了培养基种类、土壤样品加热预处理及化学抑制剂对放线菌分离效果的影响。结果表明 :高氏 1号琼脂培养基 (GA)和秸秆腐解物琼脂培养基 (SDSA)的分离结果可以反映土壤中放线菌的基本状况 ;120℃×1.0h加热预处理土样能促进放线菌孢子萌发 ,增加放线菌的分离数量和种类。供试土样经 120℃×1.0h加热预处理后放线菌的数量和类型较对照处理分别增加了5.5 %～54.9%和 125%～100 % ,但加热处理对减少细菌数量作用不明显 ;在放线菌分离培养基中同时加入K_{2相似文献}   

一种从土壤样品中选择性分离假诺卡氏菌的方法

为提高假诺卡氏放线菌的分离效率,根据其营养特性和对抗生素的敏感性,设计、检验了5种选择性分离培养基;实验检测了模式菌株在不同培养基上的生长情况,结果表明培养基S1和S2对假诺卡氏菌的生长有显著的选择性。经该方法从韩国、印度尼西亚和中国广西地区不同土样中分离到一些假诺卡氏放线菌。
