<p>El uso indiscriminado de fertilizantes químicos y su proceso de obtención y aplicación ha incrementado los costos de producción agrícola y los problemas ambientales debido a la contaminación del aire, el suelo y las aguas. Se ha planteado como alternativa la aplicación de fertilizantes biológicos como una herramienta económica y limpia para el manejo sostenible de los ecosistemas. Sin embargo, en los procesos de escalamiento de un biofertilizante pueden incrementarse los costos de producción debido al tipo de formulación y a los medios de cultivo empleados para la multiplicación de las bacterias. Esta investigación, con base en el uso secuencial de diseños estadísticos, presenta la estandarización de un medio de cultivo económico para la multiplicación de la cepa C50 de <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. De ocho fuentes nutricionales se seleccionaron cinco, teniendo como criterios los menores costos económicos y la disponibilidad de dichas fuentes; de estas cinco, tres influyeron significativamente sobre el desarrollo de la cepa. La composición optimizada del medio alterno incluyó glicerol, melaza, glutamato, extracto de levadura y sales. No se presentaron diferencias significativas en el crecimiento de la cepa C50 en el medio alterno comparado con el tradicional (levadura-manitol), ni en la viabilidad de la cepa crecida en el medio tradicional respecto al alterno, cuando se inoculó sobre turba. El inoculante conservó su calidad en refrigeración durante 30 días. Las cepas J01, T14 y C2 mostraron buen índice de crecimiento sobre el medio alterno; no se presentaron diferencias significativas en los recuentos entre las cepas J01 y T14, mientras que la cepa C2 creció mejor en el medio alterno.  </p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Standardization of a complex culture media for multiplication of C50 <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. strain</strong> </p>The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, its process of production and its application had increased the costs of agricultural production and the environmental problems because of the pollution of air, soil and water sources. The alternative is the use of biological fertilizers as an economical and clean tool in order to sustainable management of ecosystems. However, in the escalation processes of a biofertilizer the costs of production could increase due to the type of formulation and the culture media used for the multiplication of the bacteria. This research, by using statistical designs sequentially, presents the standardization of an economical culture media used to multiply the strain C50 of <em>Rhizobium </em>sp. From eight nutritional sources, five were selected taking as criteria the low economical costs and the availability of above mentioned nutritional sources; from these five sources, three of them influenced the development of the strain significantly. The optimized composition of the alternative culture media included glycerol, molasses, glutamate, yeast extract and salts. There were no significantly differences in the growth of the strain C50 in the alternative culture media compared with the traditional one (yeast extract – mannitol); nor in viability of the strain growth on traditional media culture compared with the alternative one, when it was inoculated on peat. The inoculants conserved its quality in refrigeration during 30 days. The strains J01, T14 and C2 showed a better rate of growth on the alternative culture media; it was not show significant differences in the counts between the strains J01 and T14; whereas, the strain C2 growth better in the alternative culture media.

Several strains of Penicillium are used for the production of mold-ripened cheeses, and some of them are able to produce mycotoxins. The aims of the research were the determination of roquefortine C and PR toxin in domestic and imported blue cheeses, the identification of the penicillia used as starter, and the investigation of their capacity for producing toxins in culture media. Roquefortine C was always found in the cheeses at levels ranging from 0.05 to 1.47 mg/kg, whereas the PR toxin was never found. The identification of the fungal strains present in the domestic cheeses included Penicillium glabrum, Penicillium roqueforti, and Penicillium cyclopium in the Gorgonzola “dolce” and Penicillium roqueforti in the Gorgonzola “naturale”; in one case, the presence of Penicillium crustosum was observed. The strains isolated from the foreign cheeses belonged to P. roqueforti. The strains were able to produce between 0.18 and 8.44 mg/liter of roquefortine in yeast extract sucrose medium and between 0.06 and 3.08 mg/liter and less than 0.05 mg/liter when inoculated in milk at 20°C for 14 days and 4°C for 24 days, respectively. Linear relations between production of roquefortine in culture media and cheeses did not emerge. PR toxin ranged from less than 0.05 to 60.30 mg/liter in yeast extract sucrose medium and was produced in milk at 20°C from only one strain. The low levels and the relatively low toxicity of roquefortine make the consumption of blue cheese safe for the consumer.

SummaryOne fast-growing acid-producing Rhizobium strain 995 of Vigna radiata was screened for growth behaviour in acid, saline and alkaline media. It grew well in yeast-extract mannitol broth of wide pH range as well as varying concentrations of NaCl, Na2SO4 and MnCl2. Variation in nodulation and N2-fixation efficiency occurred on different varieties of green gram, while strain characteristics were not affected by soil stress.

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (GC003) and Rhizopus stolonifer (RS001) were cultivated in two different liquid culture media: LC1 (glucose 40 g L-1, yeast extract 3 g L-1 and tryptone peptone 2 g L-1) and LC2 (glucose 40 g L-1, yeast extract 3 g L-1 and tryptone peptone 10 g L-1) for the production of mycelial biomass and exopolysaccharides (EPS). By using the liquid culture (LC2) under pH of 4.5 presented the highest biomass content (15.73 g L-1) in the propagation of Rhizopus stolonifer. The highest production of exopolysaccharides (1.74 g L-1) was obtained by the liquid culture (LC2) under pH of 4.5 in the cultivation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The results presented that the production of biomass and exopolysaccharides (EPS) is directly related with the pHs values and the strain used in the cultivation.

<strong>Objective</strong>. To design a complex culture media for the production of biomass and acid phosphatases from phosphate-solubilizing bacteria isolated from soil. <strong>Materials</strong> <strong>and methods</strong>. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were isolated from oil palm crop soil samples and selected on SMRS1 agar, which were then assessed with antagonism tests to verify their aptitude to form a co-culture. A Box-Behnken experimental design was applied to<br />evaluate the effect of each one of the culture media components on the production of biomass and phosphatase enzymes at a laboratory scale. Finally, microbial growth and enzyme production curves were carried out in order to determine their production times. <strong>Results</strong>. Five phosphate-solubilizing bacterial strains were isolated and three of them were selected based on their solubilization indices.These Gram negative strains with bacillus morphology were identified as A, B and C; their solubilization indices were 2.03, 2.12, and 2.83, respectively. According to the ANOVA analyses for the Box-Behnken design, the only factor which had a significant effect on the phosphatase activity (p&lt;0.01) was hydrolyzed yeast, and the formulation that generated the highest biomass concentration and phosphatase activity (p&lt;0.01) contained 10, 15 and 2.5 gL-1 of phosphoric rock, sucrose and hydrolyzed yeast, respectively. After 24 hours of incubation at 100 rpm, the highest values of biomass and phosphatase activity were obtained: 11.8 logarithmic units of CFU and 12.9 phosphatase units. <strong>Conclusion</strong>. We determined that the culture media based on phosphoric rock 10 gL-1, hydrolyzed yeast 2.5 gL-1 and commercial sucrose 15 gL-1 was ideal for the production of biomass and phosphatases by the strains evaluated; likewise, we proved that the hydrolyzed yeast was the only factor significantly influential for the production of phosphatases.<br /><br /><strong>Key words</strong>: bio-inoculants, phosphate solubilizing microorganisms, phosphatase activity, Box Behnken design.

Effects of different culture media (Bd-2, Bd-3, Bd-4 and IFP), different culture vessels (conical flasks, plastic bowls and earthen pots) and different cultural conditions (stock, pilot plant and shade culture) on coiled and straight filament characteristics of Spirulina were studied. Stock culture maintained under special conditions, retained coiled filament characteristics even after 17 years, while Spirulina filaments in pilot ponds lost their coiled characteristics. Food value of the straight filaments was acceptable and their survival capacity was more than that of coiled filaments. Key words: Spirulina, Media culture, Vessels culture, Cultural condition, Filaments character.  DOI = 10.3329/bjsir.v43i3.1152Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 43(3), 369- 376, 2008

Listeria spp. have been isolated from a wide variety of sources, and in many situations Listeria innocua is more commonly found than Listeria monocytogenes. Growth of three L. monocytogenes strains was studied when inoculated simultaneously with a rhamnose negative L. innocua strain into culture media and cheese sauce. Fraser broth (FB), Trypticase™ soy broth plus 0.6% yeast extract (TSB-YE), University of Vermont medium (UVM) modified Listeria enrichment broth, and cheese sauce were inoculated (ca. 102 cells per ml) and incubated for 24 h; FB, TSB-YE, and cheese sauce at 35°C, UVM at 30°C. Growth of four rhamnose-positive, L. innocua strains was also studied in culture media. Growth of L. monocytogenes was similar to that for L. innocua in TSB-YE or cheese sauce. However, in FB and UVM, L. innocua populations were significantly higher than L. monocytogenes. This occurred when media were inoculated individually or simultaneously. This may explain in part why L. innocua is isolated more frequently than L. monocytogenes from foods and environmental samples.
