This paper presents the results of the adjustment of 18 modifications of culture medium based on MS medium composition – Murashige and Skoog (1962) for in vitro rhizogenesis of 10 varieties of domestic plum. There were used 4 nutrient media with a full amount of macro- and microelements – MS1 with a different combination of phytohormones, 1 medium without hormones – MSc, 13 media – MS2 with half the amount of macronutrients, differing in hormonal composition. It was found that the maximum number of rooted microshoots from 21.2 to 52.2 % was on MS2–8 medium, from 11.2 to 43.1 % on MS2–5. The analysis showed that into the medium increases the percentage of microplants by 12-17 % comparing with the medium MS2–5 and MS2–7 without FA. The distinctiveness of nutrient media by the type of auxin (IAA, NAA, IBA) made it possible to clarify that IBA is the most optimal of the auxins, and the concentration of 1.7 mg/l is borderline for the growth reactions of plum varieties. It was revealed that in vitro root formation depends not only on the compositions of growth substances in the nutrient medium, but also on the genotype of the variety.

Hyphal Apex

Thirty-one species of fungi (representing 13 orders) were examined for their ability to grow from a nutrient medium onto a non-nutrient medium; 17 were capable of colonizing the deficient medium, 10 were not, and 4 were indeterminate. The ability to grow onto deficient medium appeared to be related to the natural habitat of the fungus rather than to taxonomic position. Experiments with isotopically labelled nutrients showed that both colonizing fungi and non-colonizing fungi were capable of some transport of nutrients, the difference between the two groups being one of degree. In transporting fungi, labelled nutrients were moved more rapidly when the fungus colonized a deficient medium than when it colonized a nutrient medium; this suggested that movement of nutrients is adaptive to some extent. The importance of the growing hyphal apex as a sink for nutrients was demonstrated.

e15610 Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are promising targets in modern oncology. A lot of CSCs enrichment and cultivation techniques are being currently developed. Most of the approaches deploy high doses of growth factors in culture media, - EGF and FGF2 above all, - without prior testing. Since prolonged exposition to growth factors may cause paradoxical growth inhibition it is worth developing test systems to evaluate culturing conditions before establishing the main experiment. Encapsulation in alginate may serve as a promising approach to develop such test-systems due to alginate reduced ability to adsorb proteins and maintain proper attachment to the ECM of non-stem cell even in the presence of serum. It is important to notice that serum addition may be crucial during initial stages of primary CSCs culture establishment. The aim of the study was to test EGF and FGF2 effects on anoikis resistant cells growth in permanent colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods: The cells of Caco-2, HT-29, and HCT 116 cultures were encapsulated in 1% alginate beads at a concentration of 100 000 cells/ml. Subsequently encapsulated cells were kept in 2 variants of culture media: DMEM/F12 + 10%FBS with and without addition of growth factors (EGF 20 ng/ml, FGF2 10 ng/ml). The cultivation was carried out for 10 days, after that the colonies area (A) was measured. Data are given as: Mean ± 95% confidence interval. Results: The average area of Caco-2 culture colonies increased significantly with the addition of growth factors (FBS only A = 1755.16±195.87 μm2, with additional growth factors Af = 3270.57±274.91 μm2), the difference was significant (t = 8.83, n = 300, p < 0,05). The area of HCT116 colonies after growth factors addition increased only slightly (A = 2844.89±461.57 μm2, Af = 3530.31±503.85 μm2), the difference nevertheless did not reach significant values (t = 1.94, n = 300, p > 0.05). At the same time, the area of HT-29 colonies significantly decreased in the culture medium containing additional growth factors (A = 4605.10±324.02 μm2, Af = 3167.85±249.07 μm2), the difference was significant (t = 6.92, n = 300, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Combining alginate encapsulation and colonies size measurement enabled us to evaluate culturing conditions of anoikis resistant cells in permanent CRC cultures and proved growth factors addition to be an ambiguous practice in CSCs research. This tactics can be applied in a broad spectrum of tasks concerning more effective CSCs medium formulations development.

At all stages of the production of microbiological nutrient media (MNM), the manufacturer, and in particular, the microbiological laboratories that manufacture the media on site, face many operational risks. The presence of such risks, in almost every critical point of production and further operation of the MNM, is due to the presence of common basic requirements for all MNM, which must be taken into account and respected during their development and preparation; as well as the complexity and laboriousness of the very process of manufacturing high-quality differential-diagnostic and other nutrient media, requiring the availability of all the components necessary for preparing these media, equipment, sterile conditions and qualified personnel. In this regard, there is a need to search for effective methods to identify and prevent undesirable situations associated with the production and use of MNM. The aim of this work was to adapt the risk assessment methodology based on the expert method for analyzing the types and consequences of FMEA failures (Failure Mode Effect Analysis) set out in GOST R ISO 31010-2011 for the needs of microbiological laboratories, including those for veterinary and sanitary expertise, producing microbiological nutrient environments and using them. As part of this work, a comparative analysis of risk assessment methods was carried out in order to select the optimal one; adaptation of the QMS principle - risk-oriented thinking and the FMEA method for risk assessment in the implementation of MNM manufacturing processes in a microbiological laboratory (for example, solid agar media); risk assessment protocol forms were developed; calculations of a quantitative assessment of risk levels were carried out in order to determine the need for preventive actions and their implementation in order to minimize the negative consequences of risk in case of its implementation using the developed protocols. The results showed that this technique can be successfully implemented and used in the claimed area.

The article presents the results of studying the effect of siderophores and iron on the isolation of Mycobacterium bovis from pathological material. It has been established that the simultaneous presence of iron and siderophore from M. phlei in the nutrient medium makes it possible to detect the growth of M. bovis from pathological material 6–8 days earlier; ensures the growth of more colonies and bacterial mass. The presence of heterologous to mycobacteria siderophore (from Nocardia spp.) in the medium reduces the elective (growth) properties of the medium. Siderophores found in the culture filtrate or alcoholic extract of M. phlei can be valuable additives to culture media for the accelerated isolation of M. bovis from pathological material

Carbon Dioxide Co2

Carbon dioxide is the most influential gas in greenhouse gasses and its amount in the atmosphere reached 412 µmol/mol in August 2020, which increased rapidly, by 48%, from preindustrial levels. A brand-new chemical industry, namely organic chemistry and catalysis science, must be developed with carbon dioxide (CO2) as the source of carbon. Nowadays, many techniques are available for controlling and removing carbon dioxide in different chemical processes. Since the utilization of CO2 as feedstock for a chemical commodity is of relevance today, this study will focus on how to increase CO2 solubility in culture media used for growing microbes. In this work, the CO2 solubility in a different medium was investigated. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and monoethanolamine (MEA) were added to the culture media (3.0 g/L dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4), 0.2 g/L magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 0.2 g/L calcium chloride (CaCl2), and 1.0 g/L sodium chloride (NaCl)) for growing microbes in order to observe the difference in CO2 solubility. Factors of temperature and pressure were also studied. The determination of CO2 concentration in the solution was measured by gas analyzer. The result obtained from optimization revealed a maximum CO2 concentration of 19.029 mol/L in the culture media with MEA, at a pressure of 136.728 kPa, operating at 20.483 °C.
