| oatmeal-tomato paste agar | A special culture medium for the production of ascospore formation in the dermatophytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Thayer-Martin agar | A Mueller-Hinton agar with 5% chocolate sheep blood and antibiotics, used for transport and primary isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitides. Synonym: Thayer-Martin medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophoresis, agar gel | Electrophoresis in which agar or agarose gel is used as the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| EMB agar | Agar composed of peptone, lactose, and sucrose and containing eosin and methylene blue, used to distinguish between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria. Synonym: EMB agar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Endo agar | A medium containing peptone, lactose, dipotassium phosphate, agar, sodium sulfite, basic fuchsin, and distilled water; originally developed for the isolation of Salmonella typhi, this medium is now most useful in the bacteriological examination of water; coliform organisms ferment the lactose, and their colonies become red and colour the surrounding medium; non-lactose-fermenting organisms produce clear, colourless colonies against the faint pink background of the medium. Synonym: Endo's medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Endo's fuchsin agar | Nutrient agar containing lactose, alcoholic solution of fuchsin, sodium sulfite, and soda solution, used as a culture medium to differentiate Salmonella typhi from coliform bacteria. Synonym: fuchsin agar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosin-methylene blue agar | Agar composed of peptone, lactose, and sucrose and containing eosin and methylene blue, used to distinguish between lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria. Synonym: EMB agar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| yeast extract agar | A medium used to induce sporulation and reduce vegetative growth in the cultivation of fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lactose-litmus agar | Agar made by adding 2% lactose and litmus to acid-free nutrient agar; formerly used in the identification of Salmonella typhi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| French proof agar | A culture medium for fungi containing neopeptone or polypeptone agar and glucose, with final pH 5.6; it is the standard, most universally used medium in mycology and is the international reference. Modified Sabouraud's agar (Emmons modification) with less glucose is better for pigment development in the colonies. Synonym: French proof agar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fuchsin agar | Nutrient agar containing lactose, alcoholic solution of fuchsin, sodium sulfite, and soda solution, used as a culture medium to differentiate Salmonella typhi from coliform bacteria. Synonym: fuchsin agar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| african green monkey kidney cell | <cell culture> Cells taken from the kidneys of the African green monkey Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus and used to grow certain viruses like poliovirus. (05 Feb 1998) |
| algae, green | Algae of the division chlorophyta, in which the green pigment of chlorophyll is not masked by other pigments. Classes include charophyceae, bryopsidophyceae, conjugatophyceae, oedogoniophyceae, chlorophyceae, and prasinophyceae. Common genera are acetabularia, chlamydomonas, chlorella, nitella, prototheca, scenedesmus, spirogyra, and volvox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blue-green algae | The former name for the blue-green bacteria, now classified as Cyanobacteria. A group of prokaryotes. Synonym: Cyanobacteria. (05 May 2002) |
| blue-green bacteria | <organism> Modern term for the blue green algae, prokaryotic cells that use chlorophyll on intracytoplasmic membranes for photosynthesis. The blue green colour is due to the presence of phycobiliproteins. Found as single cells, colonies or simple filaments. In Anabaena, in which the cells are arranged as a filament, heterocysts capable of nitrogen fixation occur at regular intervals. According to the endosymbiont theory Cyanobacteria are the progenitors of chloroplasts. (18 Nov 1997) |
